Natural hoof care

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Interesting essay, but unfortunately non-encyclopedic. Beagel (talk) 18:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC) Beagel (talk) 18:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think I tried to speedy this at some point as copyvio, then a sysop stubbed it and moved it. It was written as a fluff piece to advertise a book by the author that was graced by the only link on there. It's an unsalvageable essay at best, advert at worst. If my search was any indication, the guy that wrote this is the only source for the content anyway. § FreeRangeFrog 00:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I received a message on my talk page from User:A Nobody about the work that was done on this article, and it's a heck of a lot different now. I certainly have no problem changing my vote based on this. I urge the other editors to also reconsider. Kudos to the rescuers. The best outcome of an AfD is always a keep! § FreeRangeFrog 04:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

*Delete as self-promo along with Jaime Jackson as self-promotor. Tonywalton Talk 01:03, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep following work done by A Nobody. I agree with FreeRangeFrog wholeheartedly. Tonywalton Talk 08:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep There is much excellent material here and so I have stubbed the article with a view to building it back up in accordance with our usual style. Classical authors such as Xenophon considered this topic to be of great importance and so it is prima facie encyclopaedic.  As the article has been rewritten, the comments above are obsolete.

 * Keep and improve. Those unhappy with references to a particular farrier are welcome to provide their own. I suppose that some parts of the original, removed, content may be reused as well. NVO (talk) 17:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Colonel Warden's trimming is an improvement, but now the article is nothing more than just a quote from an ancient Greek text. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to either Barefoot horses or Jaime Jackson. There's not enough here for a standalone article. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 05:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
