Non-notable dog cross. Not a real breed. Suggest deleting or moving to List of dog hybrids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoKing (talk • contribs)
 * Delete and then maybe Redirect to List of dog hybrids. There are no reliable sources on this cross, except to confirm that that it is a cross of a Pug and Poodle. "Not a real breed" is not a valid reason for nominating articles for deletion; lack of secondary sources is the only valid reason. "Moving" is just renaming, I think you meant "Redirecting" or "Merging". Abductive  (reasoning) 06:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed with suggestion to add this as a simple listing to "List of Dog hybrids" as per above. All made-up crossed dog types really belong on this page unless they become recognized as a breed by recognized breed associations like AKC, CKC, or the BKC etc. or are an unrecognized naturally-occuring breed.

 * Wikipedia is not in the business of "recognizing breeds." All breeds are "made-up" by humans, as are such things as "numbers", "political parties", "countries", "species", or "corporations". There are examples of AfD debates about all of these topics, even countries (micronations), and some are deleted. The debate is decided on the basis of quality of the sources, not on some outside organization's notion of propriety. Abductive  (reasoning) 20:17, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what the point of that little digression was about since it doesn't seem to relate to what the poster said, however if it was that she called you on calling the "Pugapoo" a breed, she's right. Standards organizations are taxed with setting inclusion standards for everything from nails to foodstuff to wiring. In the case of dog breeds it is the various National and International Kennel Clubs that set breed standards. Whether we like it or not is moot. The fact that a cross is cute and trendy, and people are cashing in, doesn't make it a breed. JoKing (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Deletion arguments are not supposed to based on what people like or not. You seem to have nominated the article because you dislike these crosses. I however don't care at all about the topic, and so I just examine the quality of the sources and build my argument from there. Abductive  (reasoning) 23:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to Poodle which seems to be the best place per this Doglopedia. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge into Poodle per above comment. OpenTheWindows, sir! 18:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Poodle or List of dog hybrids. The few real sources (a couple of local papers and a few passing mentions in not-so-notable books) don't show distinct notability. First Light (talk) 04:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
