Nereus (walrus)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete, non-notable individual zoo animal. The only claim to notability I can see in the article is that it was featured in an episode of the Animal Planet series Growing Up..., but as that article has summaries of all episodes I can't see that alone as a reason for a standalone article. The only purported reference in the article is a more general link to the zoo where the walrus lives, which mentions but does not maintain an individual page for the walrus.

 * Delete Google News archive only shows 4 stories related to this particular zoo animal all from 2003. Per WP:NOTNEWS], a splash of publicity when a zoo gets an animal does not satisfy WP:N. Edison (talk) 18:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral Obviously the average zoo animal is not notable, but being the star subject of an episode of a notable television program almost convinces me that a dedicated article is appropriate. Not evidence of notability, but you can read about Nereus in his own words. Ben Kidwell (talk) 23:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
