Train a Puppy to Stop Biting

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article reads like a how-to guide or instruction manual, violating WP:NOTHOWTO. jfd34 ( talk ) 14:00, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete Unsourced, Wikipedia isn't a dog training manual.  Acroterion   (talk)   14:02, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE. Disavian (talk) 16:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirectto Dog training since it is an unreferenced "How-to."  Dog training says "For example, to discourage nipping, one can try ignoring the puppy when play gets too rough. Walking away will show the puppy that in order for play to be fun, they must be gentle." (also without a reference). That article is also full of unreferenced how-to material, and if "Wikipedia isn't a dog training manual," then much of that article needs to be removed. Edison (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Dog training covers the subject already, and unlike this article is not wholly OR and HOWTO, though it too needs some pruning and a lot more sources.Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: I don't care about the other article as it is not a part of this AfD, but this should be deleted as a how to guide. SL93 (talk) 21:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect (per Edison). This is Wikipedia, not WikiHow. ~Adjwilley (talk) 22:51, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Article has been deleted but is not a valid early closure. It does not meet a speedy deletion criterion nor is the result almost certain (some want it redirected rather than deleted). I have made a request for undeletion so that the discussion can continue. jfd34  ( talk ) 14:27, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * A redirect can still be created from the redlink if desired; it doesn't require even the temporary restoration of the original article if there's clearly no chance of the original article ever actually being kept. Bearcat (talk) 04:57, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
