Cardiac Cats

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

"Cardiac Cats" is a generic nickname that has been used for pretty much any team with some kind of feline as their mascot. A google search shows this to be true. While there are some sources that explicitly label the 2003 Panthers the "Cardiac Cats," such as this book, the name has also been used for the Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Wildcats, Auburn Tigers, Kentucky Wildcats, LSU Tigers, and Northwestern Wildcats, among others. This article could easily be merged into the 2003 Carolina Panthers season article. Lizard (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge content and delete. Merge the useful content into 2003 Carolina Panthers season. These two articles cover precisely the same subject. It is detrimental to have the information split into two articles. Cbl62 (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete No need for a stand alone article on this and far too generic and has been a nickname for many teams and there's even several it could be used for that it hasn't been ever used. Maybe a brief note in respective season pages but that's about it.-- Rockchalk 717 04:38, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. What about the possibility of converting this into a disambiguation page and listing out the various teams that claim this name there (2003 Carolina Panthers season, 2010 LSU Tigers football team, etc.)? Would there be any point, or would it be too difficult to police which teams are actually worth putting there? I can see a scenario where any team that has a feline mascot and plays a random exciting game gets tossed in there. Probably not worth the trouble. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:30, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Then we'd might as well list every team with a feline mascot, because it's more likely than not that such a team was referred to as the Cardiac Cats at least once. Lizard  (talk) 05:39, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, we'd have to have some sort of a litmus test to determine what actually would be worth listing here, and attempt to avoid just casual mentions throwing the phrase around. Probably a pain in the neck to police. I'm just thinking about things to possibly do here, because if this is deleted and not locked down, I guarantee you something else will get created here.

 * Oh well. If that happens we'll deal with it again. Lizard  (talk) 10:11, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. The nickname is too common to be an article for one particular team. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:26, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * But I have no objection to a merge of the content if others want to do that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 12:51, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge content and delete. Even if the nickname's too common to work for one particular team, if the content of the article contains useful information on one particular team, I see no reason to waste it all. Nick012000 (talk) 09:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
