Pet rats

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

Opinion piece about keeping rats as pets: fails WP:OR and WP:SOAP. The subject is well covered at Rats; two editors have redirected the article there but the author has rejected this. Ros0709 (talk) 22:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep Although the article is not now up to WP standards pet rats are a notable subject and should have their own article. I bet pet ferrets do. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Fancy rat. My bad. Here is the article on pet rats. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect to Fancy rat. Nothing worthwhile to merge. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 22:50, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If the author learned a little more about how WP works he/she could make a valuable contribution. Steve Dufour (talk) 00:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I've already redirected to fancy rats per WP:UCS. The content was completely non-neutral, an advocacy piece for rats as pets.  There's no reason to have a separate page.  The only reason it wasn't a speedy candidate is 'cause the page is useful as a redirect.  WLU (talk) 01:04, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
