Argentine Pila Dog

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG. At the time of nomination the article has five sources: A search of Google found nothing attributable. Cavalryman (talk) 04:35, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * the first is used to cite a sentence about a completely different breed, the Chinese Crested Dog
 * the second is used to provide a translation for the word “Pila”, meaning hairless or naked
 * the third is an unverifiable book that is only used cite a number of dogs at a 2008 Argentine dog show, further a search of a number of ISBN search engines fails to find the work
 * the forth an archived link to a dead page of an obscure Argentine dog breed association, the Asociación Canina Argentina, the official national kennel club of Argentina is the Federación Cinológica Argentina
 * the fifth not only fails as RS but does not even mention these dogs.

 * Delete. The name appears once on Google scholar here, with the name appearing once in that article with no further elaboration. The name appeares in Google books Xoloitzcuintli with the article stating that this dog first appeared in Argentina in the 1950s and implies that it is an imported Xoloitzcuintli but without actually saying that. Fails notability in my opinion: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail....is more than a trivial mention,  William Harris Canis lupis track.svg talk Canis lupis track.svg 09:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Substantially more coverage exists in Spanish than in English, which is unsurprising for a local breed in a Spanish-speaking country, especially considering that this is a breed "in danger of extinction" (en peligro de extinción, first source linked below). The article on Spanish Wikipedia was a useful starting point for finding sources and coverage. I found a press release from the Argentine Canine Association announcing their official recognition of the breed and laying out the criteria of its breed standard. The Argentine Kennel Club, a member of the Pan-American Kennel Union, describes the perro pila as an "native Argentine breed". There is an article about the perro pila from La Gaceta Salta. In a publication by the La Plata National University there is a full page about the perro pila. There are a number of other results as well. Significant coverage clearly exists to sail past the GNG and justify the breed having its own article. CJK09 (talk) 18:14, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep In view of the sources found by CJK09, I think that the subject meets GNG. aboideautalk 21:04, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The above references from CJK09 - if included in the article - would support a WP:MOVE from "Argentine Pila Dog" to "Perro pila".  William Harris Canis lupis track.svg talk Canis lupis track.svg 21:58, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Perro is Spanish for "dog"...; and given that some all of these sources are in Spanish, well, this is, to put it simply, quite unsurprising... RandomCanadian (talk | contribs) 02:10, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The sources provided by CJK09 are uncontroversial and make this topic meet WP:GNG. RandomCanadian (talk | contribs) 02:12, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
