Ameraucana-Cochin hybrid

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Species or recognizable breeds of domesticated species are automatically notable. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of chicken breeds. It is possible to combine any of them to create offspring, but this is not done regularly enough for there to be any reliable published source material about them, and they have no uniform characteristics (being hybrids). The few chicken hyrbids that have articles (see the category) are regularly written about in books and are used commonly in the poultry industry, but this is not one of those. This is one of those possible combinations that is never listed in chicken books or news articles. Even totally disregarding reliability, there is absolutely no other information on this topic anywhere. A search without quotes gives info on Ameraucanas and Cochins, but not the two combined. As the article already notes, this is in fact one type of Easter Egger, and if not deleted outright (since no one will conceivably be looking for it) it should be redirected there.

 * Delete. I think I'd have to agree with the nom here that this just isn't notable -- no hits on Google/Scholar/Books.  Matt (talk) 06:47, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I'm in two minds about this; there are, in fact, a few ghits for this hybrid... but not enough, IMO, to establish sufficient notability for a full article, IMO. OTOH, the article does not appear completely worthless, so a merge to Easter Egger or some similar article might be a better idea than simple deletion. (The problem there being that there are presumably a vast array of possible hybrids that could potentially be described on that page, which would make the article unwieldy).

 * Delete. Not notable. I can find no published information about this hybrid. Possibly WP:OR. Pburka (talk) 01:01, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
