Taquito
Really just a vanity page. Not terribly notable, and certainly not encyclopaedic (plans to go on to study veterinary medicine... cute). Delete. Exploding Boy 02:27, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a cute little dog, but not very notable Soltak 02:46, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Cute, but hard to see it going anywhere useful. --Apyule 03:14, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: mascot of a university sports team should probably make this doggy notable enough according to the rather low notability bar for such things on Wikipedia. There is, for instance, articles on the Berkeley mascot Oski, and even on The Oski Yell. See also Category:College mascots and List of U.S. college mascots. (I'm abstaining, by the way.) Uppland 05:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC) No, actually I vote to delete this. Even compared to some other mascot articles this one is pretty crufty, although the dog is cute.

 * Comment Taquito and Oski are not really comparable. Oski is a mascot for a whole (very major) university, Taquito is a mascot for a single team at a (not nearly as major) university.  Also, Oski is a "character" played by numerous real bears and later by people in suits, while Taquito is just one individual dog. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  11:33, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Um, yeah, when looking through the other mascot articles, I realized that most of them are for the whole university rather than a single team. That's why I changed my vote. I still think the yell article is crufty in the extreme. Uppland 13:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Conservare(?) based on similar articles. --Merovingian (t) (c) 06:17, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete adorable, but this is nn doggie vanity. -- Etacar11   22:48, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy so we don't lose this cute page. Then we can get a page put there about the food.  Almafeta 11:19, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Favorite catchphrase?  Plans to go to medical school?  This needs to go before Wikipedia turns into a doggie version of "Hot or Not?"  I can't believe this is even coming to a vote.  Mark 17:37, 12 August 2005 (UTC) (Unsigned vote by )
