Indie dog of India

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Quite obviously fails WP:GNG. Unencyclopedic, essay-like article. Do we really need a Wikipedia article on stray dogs in India? 🐱FatCat96🐱  Chat with Cat  05:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. I actually disagree with the nominator in that I think, depending on the sources available, the amount of/culture surrounding stray dogs in India could possibly be an encyclopedic topic. But wow this is not it. None of this is save-able, and if this topic does prove to be notable, the title is completely wrong and absolutely none of this content would be useful for it, so it would amount to a TNT anyway.

 * Comment, I disagree with the proposal to redirect. There's no useful content here, and this isn't an accepted name for stray dogs as far as I can tell. Nothing is gained by redirecting this. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirects don't have content... how is that relevant? "Indie dog" does appear to be used to refer to stray dogs in India. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Indie dog *of India* is a bad title, and there's no worthwhile content to add for a merge-keep reason. If it was just titled "Indie dog" I would agree with redirect. PARAKANYAA (talk) 12:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Street dog. I agree that there is strong potential for an article on stray/feral dogs in India. Such populations are often very notable from a cultural, historical, and biological point of view; see Street dogs in Bucharest, Street dogs in Moscow, Street dogs in Thailand, Indian pariah dog, Pye-dog, etc. But this version smells strongly of WP:LLM, with a few barely-relevant citation added in, such that it would be easier to start from scratch than edit it into a properly sourced article with an encyclopaedic tone. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 07:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect as Joe Roe suggested, the subject is probably notable but this is almost certainly generated by AI/LLM, and is absolute twaddle. Elemimele (talk) 07:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It occurs to me that my reply was a bit harsh as this is a product of a student course. But whoever is providing Wikipedia advice to the students needs to emphasise that they should be using sources to support their text, and that they should write in an encyclopaedic style, not in the style of a LLM/AI generator (if they weren't using one... these are not safe tools to mess around with. If you can write good text, you don't need AI, and if you can't, you can't assess the AI product). I do think, unfortunately, it's a start-over job, so for the moment I recommend redirect. The Street dogs in Thailand article would have been a reasonable model to work with if the editor wishes to create a similar article on Indian feral dogs. Elemimele (talk) 07:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Draftify. The page has strong potential and the subject is notable but needs to be re-written. The creator of the page can use other pages as guide like Street dogs in Moscow, Street dogs in Thailand, Street dogs in Bucharest. RangersRus (talk) 12:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
