Zelda doesn't seem to have held any note worthiness outside of being an oddity in the city. She has no world records or any real claim to fame that withstands a worldwide notability. Rusted AutoParts 21:20, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

- Comment: How about a selective merge into Battery Park? It looks like she (and the other turkey) have received enough coverage to where they'd merit at least a mention in the overall BP page, at the very least. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:50, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- One might equally merge into Zelda Fitzgerald or one might develop it into some large topic about wildlife in New York. That's all ordinary editing, not deletion, and so outside the scope of this discussion. Andrew ( talk) 09:57, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Multiple New York Times and Daily News articles, including a NYT obituary, meets GNG. Yngvadottir ( talk) 04:19, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep A world record is not required. The subject has been noticed and that's sufficient. Andrew ( talk) 09:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep There are sufficient WP:RS. A turkey can be notable by WP standards. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 21:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Passes WP:GNG. In addition to the news coverage from New York sources, the topic has received significant national and international news coverage, such as from The Telegraph, National Public Radio (a 4:04 broadcast) and the Chicago Tribune. NorthAmerica 1000 07:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Nom has some interesting standards that don't align remotely with notability guidelines. The turkey's death was worthy of news coverage as was her life. If it meets standards for humans, it's good enough for animals. StarM 03:24, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Keep, as the turkey has been featured in many sources and news media. If everything with a Wikipedia article were required to have a world record or other such claim, 90% of articles would be deleted. – Epicgenius ( talk) 02:52, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
