Star Patel

Non-notable dog. Delete. For some reason I find this tribute very moving.-gadfium 01:48, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I don't see how this dog deserves its own encyclopedia article. Zzyzx11 02:42, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to the memorial wiki, and thereby counter its systemic bias. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 02:51, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I hope we don't hurt the author's feelings by deleting this, and it is a moving tribute, but unfortunately not an encyclopedia article. — Trilobite (Talk) 03:24, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- And a German Shepherd/Lab cross as well. Possibly my two favourite breeds of dog. There ought to be a proper memorial wiki for things like this. Does anyone know if Wikicities has one? — Trilobite (Talk) 03:27, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the memorial wiki was specifically for memorials to people who had died in the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks. DaveTheRed 03:55, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yup. That's quite a systemic bias there. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 04:15, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it systemic bias to create a wiki with a narrow scope? If I created a wiki dedicated to square-shaped objects, would I be guilty of systemic bias because my wiki contained no articles on circular objects? DaveTheRed 05:01, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's called irony, honey. GeorgeStepanek\^talk 06:04, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok honey, explain to me what part of this conversation is ironic, cause I sure don't see it. DaveTheRed 08:23, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete, not notable dog. Megan1967 04:32, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete Weirdly enough I find this more sad than most of the human memorial articles I see here. It still can't stay though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:25, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
Awwwww. That's so sad. My condolences to the Patel family; Star sounds like he was a wonderful doggy. The article needs to be humanely put to sleep. DS 03:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Very sad, but still not notable. Delete. Jayjg ^(talk) 17:08, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Sad, but no, it doesn't belong here. Perhaps someone should suggest to the owner that he puts it on a page on his website. Otherwise I'll be tempted to add my old cat (1982-2000). Grutness|^hello? 10:33, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete Dog died, owner sad, this is not the place for it. --StoatBringer 12:25, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete If this was 1999, I would suggest an internet startup for ONLINE PET MEMORIALS! NASDAQ, here we come! We're going to be rich! --AStanhope 17:45, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
