Philippine mastiff

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

8 Ghits only. Links inside the article points to mastiff not Phil. mastiff. My father, a vet, said no such breed exists Lenticel  ( talk ) 12:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, the dog in the picture is a Bullmastiff. WP:NN-- Lenticel ( talk ) 12:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that "Philippine mastiff" is the name for bull mastiff in another region / language? The article seems to readily admit that it's talking about bull mastiffs (see the "Origin" section). If so, redirect to bull mastiff. If not, delete. - Che Nuevara 12:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. German shepherds are still "German" in our country but I consider your redirect suggestion a good alternative (after deletion). -- Lenticel ( talk ) 13:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but German shepherds are not "German" in Germany ... or in any other German-speaking country -- they're just called "shepherd dogs" (Schaeferhund). - Che Nuevara 13:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Bull mastiff.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 13:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: It is pretty apparent from the article that says "Group: Mastiff". Could be redirected I guess, but I doubt anybody will come looking for "Philippine mastiff". - Rjd0060 14:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no need to redirect if there is no such breed. Content was obviously modified from the bull mastiff page, no other reliable sources are apparent, at least not for that name.  The link to the french wiki is DOA, so no help there.  Here's a mastiff that's native to the Philippines, but probably not what the author had in mind.. :)   This probably needs to be removed from List of dog breeds by country, presuming no forthcoming references.

 * Redirect to Bull mastiff on a prophylactic basis to ensure the article is not created again. Theres a reason why its created as stated in the ORIGIN section. †B lo o d p ac k†  15:22, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - the material in the ORIGIN section appears to be lifted from the external Bullmastiff page here with minor changes. Please note that I've removed it from the article for now as a copyvio.  This seems to support that this is a hoax.  If the article is recreated after deletion, I'd be delighted to salt it.  There's no need for a hoax redirect.  Kuru  talk  22:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
