List of fatal coyote and wolf attacks in Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. Brand new list of very little real necessity. This was created by a user who seems to be under the erroneous impression that any wolf attack that has ever happened at all is automatically an appropriate topic for a standalone Wikipedia article even if it can only be single-sourced and has no significant enduring impacts, directly alongside the creation of most of the listed articles -- and all of those other articles are up for AFD as not having the sourcing or substance needed to qualify as notable in their own right. We already have Coyote attacks on humans and Wolf attacks on humans -- we don't need a separate spinoff just for Canadian incidents with little to no independent notability of their own. The existing articles can already accommodate any content about these, without needing this to coexist as a separate topic. Bearcat (talk) 20:52, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete This is an unnecessary Fork of the two above-mentioned articles, Coyote attacks on humans and Wolf attacks on humans. There is really nothing that demonstrates why attacks in Canada specifically are notable enough on their own that it requires a list separate from the already existing, and perfectly adequate, lists of attacks. The scant few entries here can be added to those respective articles if they are not included already. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 19:36, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of wolf attacks in North America and leave it to that talk page whether to include the extremely small number of coyote attacks in that list (only one on the nominated list, two in that category). The only cited source in the article is specifically about wolves, and we have an existing, pretty well sourced list that covers all of North America. Doesn't seem like a necessary fork. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:18, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
