Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "This week, television viewers can join the unit's members as they tackle cases both routine and exotic on Miami Animal Police, a new series on the Animal Planet network. ... On the first show, wildlife expert Bob Freer is called out to the kitschy tourist attraction, Monkey Jungle, to remove an unwanted resident: an 8-foot gator who has outgrown his waterhole. ... On tonight's show, animal control officer Kathy Labrada faces a more unusual problem: a stray goat found in South Miami's business district with a package tied around its neck."  The review notes: "On the prowl for nine months with Miami-Dade police: Animal Planet. Miami Animal Police, a TV series starring real Miami-Dade cops who work in Animal Services, premieres next month on the cable network. Among the highlights: Sgt. Charlie Daye, 40, Officer Lydia Marquez, 31, and animal control supervisor Kris Miller, 52, capture a four-foot alligator on the Palmetto Expressway during morning rush hour, causing a mega traffic jam. ... Other episodes: animal cruelty, and a foot chase of a bad guy with some mean yard dogs."  This is a 139-word review of the subject. The review notes: "A four-metre python is devouring neighbourhood pets and the Animal Police must catch it before it takes a small child! It's a great story, but not quite for the reasons this program's makers believe. They do get footage of a snake consuming a critter, but it's a look-alike python eating a defrosted duck."  The review notes from Google Translate: "Hello, I'm back with a new report about these great heroes who are Recinto Miami (Miami animal police), they take care that in Miami there is no violence against animals and that they are well and do not suffer physical or mental abuse. ... I recommend you watch it, it's a great program that can help you understand why your dog growls at you and never hit an animal on the street." Less significant coverage:  The review notes: "This new Animal Planet series does not concern animals who police Miami, but rather human members of the Miami Dade Police Department Animal Services Unit. The unit handles some 2,500 calls a month, everything from alligators on the loose to pythons in public restrooms."</li> <li> The article notes: "As one of the stars of Animal Planet's reality show "Miami Animal Police" (now airing in syndication Friday nights at 9), Daye patrols Miami-Dade County - a 2,000-square-mile area that includes Miami Beach and part of the Everglades - with his team of animal investigators. ... Daye said producers from Animal Planet (an affiliate of Discovery Networks) approached the offices of the Miami-Dade County police because of the success of the network's "Animal Cops" series, which was filmed in Houston and Detroit."</li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Miami Animal Police to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Comment: Pinging, who removed the proposed deletion. Cunard (talk) 09:19, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources identified above by Cunard. Donald D23   talk to me  12:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. The sources above that has identified show that the subject passes WP:GNG. To respond to the nom's invocation of WP:TNT, WP:DEL-CONTENT notes that [d]isputes over page content are usually not dealt with by deleting the page, except in severe cases and that [i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page. The page is unsourced, but the sources presented in this discussion should be enough to source the content is what is now the lead; this is not a severe case of the entire article violating WP:NPOV and WP:MINREF. The section comparing and contrasting the show with Animal Cops: Miami should be blanked as WP:OR if no source can be provided to substantiate it. But this alone is not enough to establish that the TNT-threshold (i.e. the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history)) is met. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 21:18, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
