Manly "Little Pickles" Ortega

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There are notable animals. This isn't one of them. Unsourced BLD. No reliable sources provided or found. (Previously deleted via prod (I'm counting the recreation as disputing the prod). Speedy categories and BLP prod seem not to apply.) SummerPhD (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sad to say, this pooch seems to be getting the short end of the stick here. I've added some totally reliable sources to the article, but I think WP:GNG etc. are simply not designed to help dogs in need. *Sigh* Drmies (talk) 14:37, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's also unfortunate that WP:BLP doesn't protect him from the scandalous claims in that source that he is the father of that bitch Noodle's pups. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I sympathize with him, having gone through similar situations many a time. BTW, you know that A7 now also applies to animals, right? (Not in this case, of course--there is a claim to notability.) Drmies (talk) 15:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll keep that in mind for the next non-notable animal article I find. It'll probably be a while... - SummerPhD (talk) 19:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect to High School Musical (film series) where he is already mentioned and cited. While inclusion is suitable there, he does not have notability for his own article. It's not as if he were Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, or Benji.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:20, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with that. But what redirect--this one, I guess, and Manly Ortega as well? Drmies (talk) 01:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I've added a redirect from Manly Ortega. (FWIW, it had previously been speedied as a G7.) The fate of this one will carry over to the redirect. In the seemingly unlikely event this is closed as a "keep", we might want to move the article to the redirect name, as I don't see the "Little Pickles" part on the dog's official bio page at Disney. Yes, the dog has an official bio. The Internet: The most powerful communications medium in history, primarily used for porn, stealing music and info on "famous" dogs. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:57, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent. The Disney bio actually does include that usage: "Born in Los Angeles, California, Master Manly Little Pickles of Fulton and Weddington (as his pedigree certificate reads) was a gift to Emmy Award-winning director and choreographer Kenny Ortega from his best friend, Kelly Gonda." And too, New York Times' InBaseline also refers to the dog as "Manly 'Little Pickles' Ortega", and it is again stated in Seattle Times, so a second redirect from this one will work too.

 * While I support whatever reasonable redirects someone wants to add (and I'm tempted to see just how many we can find), I have a more pressing matter: "Master"?! - SummerPhD (talk) 11:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
