Dorgi

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not a 'notable' hybrid. No reliable sources--WaxonWaxov (talk) 04:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. This was my first nomination for deletion (but it will not be the last) :)--WaxonWaxov (talk) 03:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Reliable sources clearly exist (see e.g., or the citations to the Daily Mail and the Guardian in the article. However, most of the mentions are pretty trivial. What tips this over the edge into a keep for me is the fact that the  Spectator apparently considered Dorgis notable enough to use them as the basis of a poetry competition .

 * Keep. Why are we considering this topic for deletion? The grounds appear to be that the subject is not 'notable'. Surely, even if it is not bred in huge numbers, or is a particularly noteworthy breed, the fact that it was "introduced" or first bred by a reigning Monarch gives it sufficient notability to be worthy of a mention? In 'dog' terms it might not be notable, but it is an item of 'trivia' related to a current Head of State, and 'dorgies' are frequently referred to in newspaper articles about the current Queen. I would suggest that there is sufficient public interest in the topic to warrant inclusion in this encyclopedia. The term 'Dorgi' is well known enough for people to want to seek information on the topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Butcherscross (talk • contribs) 23:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * To answer your first question: see WP:POINT and Corgi-Chihuahua... Calliopejen1 (talk) 07:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not believe I am distrupting Wikipedia per WP:POINT. I am merely taking the reasons used to delete the article Corgi-Chihuahua and asking that they be used equally and fairly. If I was trying to disrupt Wikipedia then I'd being asking the ridiculous like deleting Beagle or something like that.--WaxonWaxov (talk) 21:08, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Reason for nomination The fact that one of Elizabeth II's Corgi's got silly one day and decided to do the 'hibbity-dibbity' with a daschund does NOT make it a notable breed. It has been established here Corgi-Chihuahua that if a hybrid breed is not 'notable' then it needs to be deleted.--WaxonWaxov (talk) 03:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to List of dog hybrids. All the mentions I can find are trivial and say the same thing--it was bred by the queen. This could easily be contained in the list article (adding another column for "breed" notes).  No prejudice toward recreation as a stand-alone article if more sources are found.
