 * My concern is not with the amount of coverage this topic has received, it's that most of the coverage were obituaries published within a very short timeframe. While this is a newsworthy topic, it's not notable in the Wikipedia sense. SST  flyer  13:55, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Per WP:SUSTAINED, delete. --Izno (talk) 17:28, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - passes WP:GNG. I understand that this could be argued to be deleted on the grounds of WP:NOTNEWS (not sure on WP:SUSTAINED as I found a few articles from before her death), but being the last known survivor of the 9/11 attack gives the article a little edge over simply being just another search dog. The fact that she was the last known rescue dog from the attacks, gives the topic some notability that goes beyond WP:NOTNEWS and WP:SUSTAINED. In my understanding, the fact is notable in itself to keep the article.  Ya  sh  !   10:51, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
