Lottatore Brindisino

Fails WP:GNG. The source cited for the majority of the information in the article is clearly short of WP:RS. The Lottatore Brindisino section is clearly copied from Gull Terrier and of the three sources used, only one makes a single mention of the breed. The only other source I could find on these dogs was this which mentions the breed name once in a table. Neither of these sources provide “significant coverage”.

 * Delete. The main Moloserdogs.com article has no author nor references, so it is not a WP:REPUTABLE source. Nothing in G-Books. The basis for this dog's mention is a 2009 newsletter which states "NYCHA has designated a variety of mixed and full breed dogs..." and then lists them - it is unclear from this list if this dog is considered a full breed or a mixed breed. The later "Bark" article simply repeats what was in the earlier newsletter. It fails notability and there is nothing we can develop an article around. Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOTDIC.

 * Delete - Agree with nominator. No significant coverage in reliable sources is available. William Avery (talk) 13:18, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, and probably salt too. As Cavalryman says, molosserdogs.com is not a WP:RS or anything like one, and should be deprecated and removed wherever it is used in this project. There's nothing but the usual rubbish on GBooks, nothing on ScienceDirect or in a wide-ranging database search; it isn't even listed on agraria.org, which lists a good number of unrecognised or dubious Italian dog breeds. Two list mentions on Scholar, one of which (already mentioned by Cavalryman) cites our List of dog fighting breeds as its only source for this breed; the second cites this page, which clearly attributes Wikipedia. This illustrates well why this project may aspire to be a repository of the world's knowledge, but must not be allowed to become a repository of the world's blog-sourced nonsense.
