Giraffe fighting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The majority of the information in this article is covered in the main giraffe article and the rest is just fluff. It is in violation of WP:SUMMARY. LittleJerry (talk) 20:06, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree that a lot of the information in this is already incorporated into the Giraffe page and some other information is not totally true but I like the idea. For people like myself, researching for an assignment about animal behaviour, having a separate page for this will be very useful.


 * No. Separate pages are created when the section gets too long for the article. That's not the case here. LittleJerry (talk) 20:32, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, have you considered that this page could be an extension to the 'Necking' section of the 'Giraffe' page? Pretty sure this topic is of interest to many people, including Robert E. Simmons and Lue Scheepers, who both are once famous researchers at Uppsala University. They have both written an article about this single topic and was published by the department of Zoology. What we should do here is make a 'main article' link in the 'necking' section of giraffe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.27.4 (talk) 21:00, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Like I said, if the necking section got too big for the article then yes this would be needed. But it isn't. LittleJerry (talk) 22:06, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I feel this article would be too long to be merged into the Giraffe page, so a separate page needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterCalum (talk • contribs) 20:42, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The article contains always no new information, at least not enough that it can't be put into the main giraffe article. LittleJerry (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

As a giraffe enthusiast I found the page on giraffe fighting very interesting and helpful in my research of giraffe behavior. I first witnessed giraffe fighting on the show Africa and ever since wanted to find more out about it this wiki page provided me with this and I feel that if deleted it would really disadvantage other enthusiasts like myself munn1995 (talk •contribs)20:50 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I find the article on giraffe fighting very interesting indeed. It fascinates me to see how majestic animals fight such as lions, hippos and bears and what fascinates me the most are the giraffes because they have a very unique way of fighting that you don't see with other animals. This article provides information that I have not seen, read or heard before. I am sure that Wikipedia users as well as animal lovers would love to see this article stay on Wikipedia.


 * You can read about it in the giraffe article. LittleJerry (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Per WP:SIZE, the main giraffe article is too large and so splitting is sensible. Warden (talk) 22:52, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as a fork of giraffe. I am unconvinced that that article is so unwieldy that a break on this topic is necessary. Carrite (talk) 05:57, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
