Silly list of "cat repellers" including "lion poo" and "a big angry dog." Rob Banzai (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Lion faeces can actually purchased in pellet form - it is a known repellent of cats. (See Lion Roar in google) Lilsarahp (talk) 16:01, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * CommentNever said the article did not need improvement. It is not speediable as nonsense though.  Dloh  cierekim  16:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Rename to "Cat repellants" might be in order. Gets more G hits. Dloh  cierekim  16:06, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - doesn't strike me as a particularly encyclopedic topic. Besides, WP is not a how-to guide... --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Silly nomination which shows no understanding of the topic and does not provide a proper reason to delete. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename to Cat repellants. Cat repellant" gets 13 Google Book hits. This is a new article by a new editor, and it needs work, but the subject has sufficient WP:RS for an article.  Dloh  cierekim  16:13, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll be looking for suitable sources and trying to rescue this. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well said. Note also our article upon new editor repellers. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:18, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * My first article got speedy deleted.  Dloh  cierekim  16:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Given an ideal article name, seems like a salvageable article in terms of inherent notability and source potential. Does need cleanup though, although that in itself is not cause for deletion.  If deleted, there are other articles (about pest control, etc) which could be expanded to include this material.  Baccyak4H (Yak!) 16:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Well-known and notable topic in gardening and pet rearing. AlexTiefling (talk) 16:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The notability is there for this to become a potentially salvageable article. It certainly does need cleanup and a rewrite to make it more encyclopedic. Nominator gave no legitimate reason for deletion. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  16:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Cat repellent" gets about 30 unique Google book hits. I used the wrong spelling before. Or is it an Americ-Anglic thing? Dloh  cierekim  22:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Google scholar gives about 30 hits. Dloh  cierekim  22:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename Valid idea, bad subject name. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 22:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the worst article that I've ever voted to keep. However, this is clearly a topic of interest to many about which there are numerous referenced, verifiable, notable techniques. Bongomatic (talk) 11:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree with Bongomatic. -- IRP ☎ 02:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
