Peronally I think the article kicks ass. Stromire '07

This animal simply does not exist -- the idea of it was either created or popularized by the film Napoleon Dynamite Perhaps one could rework the article in order to make these facts clear; otherwise, it needs to be deleted. Humor is great, but it's isn't The Onion.Zantastik 06:36, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)'


 * Of course ligers exist. They've certainly existed long before the film Napoleon Dynamite did!  or just google for 'lion tiger crossbreed" - Nunh-huh 06:56, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, this has survived multiple VfD attempts beforehand, IIRC. James F. (talk) 16:12, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good article. Nomination appears to be based on poor information. Andrewa 18:15, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It would have taken 5 seconds via google to work out that these and tigons are real animals. Xezbeth  18:29, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, save the ligers! --fvw *  18:42, 2004 Dec 26 (UTC)
 * Keep, I've seen one, at a Renaissance festival near Boston. It was an amazing creature. It was billed, I think, as the largest cat in the world, and it was huge. Paul August  &#9742; 18:47, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I first heard of tigons an ligers years ago, but I've never heard of Napoleon Dynamite. P Ingerson 20:09, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep, it really exists.
 * Keep: I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time like this -- I should have checked it out, and I totally blew it. Anyway, live and learn, all that -- but the article should stay.Zantastik 10:45, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, glad it is settled. Whoever left a warning about this on the talk page of the equivalent Persian entry: thanks anyways.   – Kaveh (talk)   02:33, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep: An honest mistake, yes, but next time try referring to a real encyclopedia or Just Google It before wasting our time. GRider\talk 18:11, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
