Dusty the Klepto Kitty

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable cat. As I said in the PROD, if Wikipedia had an article for every internet cat, Wikipedia would be wayyyy to big. Fails WP:GNG, sourced to YouTube, Facebook, and a local TV station. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 18:56, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: cute cat but, as per the nom, sources do not meet notability standards. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG, having received significant coverage in reliable sources. Furthermore, the topic has received international news coverage, such as in Metro. Per WP:NRVE, topic notability is based upon available sources, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. Source examples include:
 * Dusty the Klepto Kitty is a one-cat crime wave. Metro.
 * Cat steals from everyone in San Mateo neighborhood. San Francisco Chronicle.
 * Klepto kitty's owners find out how he operates. ABC News (San Francisco).
