Where are the references to prove that this dog can speak? (other than barking). It would be better described as a "symbol" or "reminder" of unfortunate/abused animals. Edison ( talk) 05:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I changed it. Schuym1 ( talk) 06:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)schuym1
I added sources, I added categories, I added a stub, and I reworded it, but it's still not good enough. I thought that it was notable, but I guess that I was wrong. What was wrong with the Barnes and Noble link? Schuym1 ( talk) 06:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)schuym1
I added articles/reviews from National Geographic News and The Seattle Times. I removed the "unreferenced" and "notability" tags. It could certainly be taken to WP:AFD if someone is sure no references exist to create a quality article. If transcripts of the TV appearances could be found that would furnish additional sources for improving the article. Amazon lists it 299,115 in best sellers, #38 in Books > Health, Mind & Body > Death & Grief > Pet Loss and #76 in Books > Outdoors & Nature > Ecology > Animal Rights. How can one determine what its high water mark was in sales, or its total sales to date, which might be indices of notability? Amazon lists additionally a review in Midwest Book Review, August 2005, which could be referenced if it could be found beyond the capsule version on Amazon. Edison ( talk) 16:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I added a prod and I'm done creating articles. I'm also tired of waiting for someone to "adopt" me so I took the template off of my profile. Schuym1 ( talk) 00:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)schuym1
Schuym1 is not the only major contributor. As another major contributor, I disagree with the PROD. Once others have edited an article, the creator no longer "owns" is for purposes of speedy deletion. Saying that the National Geographic reference is about the man and the dog rather than the book by the man about the man and the dog seems the height of sophistry. Take it to AFD if you wish it deleted. Moving it to an article about the dog or about Mr. Grim are other alternatives. The deleted list of TV show appearances seem other possible reliable sources to support notability. Edison ( talk) 04:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree with Edison's observations now, but I'm not sure who is right. These multiple discussions (Two user pages, this talk page, and the deletion page) have made me even more confused of what should happen in a situation like this. Schuym1 ( talk) 22:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
