Tweet (giraffe)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article (almost) meets WP:ONEEVENT. All coverage about this animal is related to a single event, his death - absolutely no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources could be found that is unrelated to that one event. Exemplo347 (talk) 20:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm skeptical about using the WP:ONEEVENT standard because it's a subsection of a page called "Notability (people)" and Tweet was not a person. Further, it seems like it's being applied to the fact that this (admittedly terrible) article only dwells on one event, not whether or not the subject is genuinely not known for anything else. One listed exception is "Someone may have become famous due to one event, but may nevertheless be notable for more than one event." On its own, Tweet's tragic end doesn't confer notability. But he was also a cast member of a movie that made over $100 million and starred in multiple Toys "R" Us commercials. Those two additional facts gained Tweet international attention and if this article were kept, they'd obviously be added. So this is a weird situation because the article fails ONEEVENT but its subject doesn't.  City O f  Silver  00:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Zookeeper_(film) where the reliably sourced information about this giraffe already appears. Clearly not one event, because the giraffe appeared in a film and was a business mascot, but the sources in the article and through a Google search don't make it pass the WP:GNG. There is enough to justify it's inclusion in the movie page though. Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:05, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
