Criollo (rabbit)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sources do not provide siginificant coverage of this unrecognized breed to establish notability. Similar to Articles for deletion/Big Silver Marten, the names of the references do not match the names of the linked websites, nor do they verify the article. "It was made by scientists in Mexico in 1940." seems inconsistent with Reywas92Talk 21:09, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Again, not sure why the American Rabbit Breeders Association and British Rabbit Council linked to their home page. Source 1 tells us that it was made in Mexico and source 6 tells us it was made in 1940. DestinationFearFan (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It's linked to the home page because that's what you linked to. They don't have a page on the Criollo so I don't know what else it would link to. Source 1 says "This rabbit is common to Mexico and Central America," not that it "was made in Mexico". Can you provide a full quote from the book in source 6? Also, do not add a new section for comments. Reywas92Talk 22:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

The book states, "The Criollo rabbit was bred by cattle farmers in the southern region of Mexico in 1940. They successfully created the rabbit when they mixed an American Fuzzy Lop and a Pigmy Rabbit, which was a relativity new breed at the time." That is my quote from the book.

 * Delete The references are mostly minor mentions. My search found only minor references.  The breed is not recognized by ARBA "provides unification within its membership that is composed of rabbit and cavy enthusiasts throughout North America and the world."

Jeepday The articles Altex rabbit, Armenian Marder, Bauscat rabbit, Blanc de Popielno, and more are also not recognized by those groups, but are still pages. I think this article helps and adds information for the different breeds. I hope you reconsider. DestinationFearFan (talk) 21:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete for failing to meet notability. Also, the fact that other possibly non-notable breeds have articles is a not reason to keep. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 00:00, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
