 * Keep There are dogs who have their own wp pages because they have done something so significant they have achieved notability. I think Waghya is a notable dog as well. The sources below indicate that. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 08:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The dog appears notable meeting WP:GNG. There is a statue of the dog and a significant lore around it. There is a significant mention in the book "The real Indian dog". Plus the interest seems to be reignited in the media in 2011 and 2012 due to protests and actions of authorities around the statue, the coverage of which itself has significant coverage for the subject., any subject meeting WP:GNG can and should have an article here despite one personally thinking the subject to be very trivial. There are atleast 332 individual dog pages here on WP Category:Individual dogs. A lot of others are mentioned in List of individual dogs. Roller26 (talk) 11:48, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep What we don't need is this discussion. See here for another source.  See also Greyfriars Bobby and the Brown Dog affair and note that the latter is a featured article. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:22, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep What ? you needs to learn what is GNG! This dog is a historical figure of my country. VocalIndia (talk) 15:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As others have pointed out, it's okay to have a page about a dog if there are reliable sources that have discussed the dog in detail. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:32, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
