American Bulldog Registry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG as a standalone article, no citations to independent RS to establish notability, and WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection - redirect to American Bulldog Association. Atsme Talk 📧 08:51, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with User:Atsme--Pierpao (talk) 11:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as argued. It appears to be a "front" for selling puppies. (In my opinion, its travelling companion the American Bulldog Association - that was created by the same no-longer-active editor - should go down the same path.)

 * Delete, of course. A two-line travesty that is pretending to be an article. Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 17:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. The title is that of a company or organisation which apparently doesn't exist. The content is a list of two such companies of which at least one appears to fail WP:NCORP and should become a redirect – as already noted by . If the two companies were notable, the function of this page would be better performed by reciprocal See-also links. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:42, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, Gareth Griffith-Jones sums up my thoughts exactly. Cavalryman (talk) 23:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete as an obvious WP:NOT policy violation. Its own intro says why this is not a valid article approach: "The American Bulldog is registered by many organisations" – the same is true of other breeds, so for breed we'd have a bogus list article like this, mostly with identical content (i.e., the major breed registries/kennel clubs). It just serves no encyclopedia purpose, any more than would a "List of department stores that carry Vans shoes". Also, my ability to assume an innocent attempt to create a legit encyclopedia article is stretched to the breaking point, because pretty much all community and administrative drama to arise within the scope of WP:DOGS in about the last year has related directly to promotion of non-notable alleged new breeds and sub-breeds of bulldog (see ongoing AfD of "Olde Boston Bulldogge" and several previous ones), and attempts to suppress or malign well-established breeds (esp. the Pit Bull; see recent ANI about that "NoMoPBs" activist). I can't read minds, but this article appears to exist solely to drive puppy purchases and pedigree registrations.(WP:NOT, WP:SPAM). PS: There are also some reparable faults, like the title (should be "List of American Bulldog registries"), and style gaffes, like using British English in an American topic.  —&thinsp;AReaderOutThataway&thinsp;t/c 17:37, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
