India (cat)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has little scope to expand beyond the few sentences currently present. The presidential cats are not notable by themselves, so devoting a whole article on a cat is not necessary. Any information can be merged with List of United States Presidential pets, which lists other pets kept by US presidents.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions.   —Ragib (talk) 22:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Same as I said in the original AfD: Not as famous as Socks the Cat (who had books and a video game!), but as a presidential pet certainly receives a lot more press than many of the folks we have bios of. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge - with List of presidential pets. We never got anything beyond the 2 or 3 sentences currently in the article, and that's what it is ever going to be. We also have a merge discussion in the talk page and there is an overwhelming consensus to merge. --Ragib (talk) 14:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - subject of independent press, effect (if silly) on people half a world away - a notable, worthwhile article. Wily D 15:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Merge all presidential pets into List of presidential pets. No coverage whatsoever except by virtue of its owner, and very little even of that. Notability is not inherited. Edison (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per WilyD & Lenahan, and per earlier AfDs. Why do we keep having to go through this? Grumpily, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * People often don't like things which are notable but which they think ethically shouldn't be notable. There's probably nothing to do here. Wily D  12:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As per previous comments. Funny, but I never knew Bush had a cat (see what you can learn on Wikipedia!). Ecoleetage (talk) 18:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Since the nominator of this AFD suggests merging, I suggest we close this discussion. AFD is not for merge discussions and there's no reason for deletion since merge seems to be the consensus. - Mgm|(talk) 00:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete with a passing mention of this cat in presidential pet list. Article has not been expanded despite several claims by people that much can be written about this cat and blah-blah!!! This is an encyclopedia but the article is similar to newly written blog page to attract more traffic. Non-notable other than it's owner and so passing mention is all that's needed. Anything more (including current version) is yellow journalism. -- GP Pande  talk!  17:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject of some controversy and notable. I see no reason to merge.  Dismas |(talk) 19:53, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
