Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Animal|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

It pains me greatly to be taking an article about such an obviously very good boy to AfD, but based on my search, he does not meet WP:GNG. The only editorial coverage I came across was from Kent Life, a local newspaper. JSFarman (talk) 05:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I did not find significant coverage in reliable sources about the subject in my searches for sources. I found a 6 March 2020 article in the Swindon Advertiser that discusses a two-year-old Frenchie-cross-American bulldog named TJ. But this Wikipedia article says TJ the Frenchie was born 19 March 2021, so this would be a different TJ. The subject does not meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

  • Keep and Procedural Close, as no deletion argument has been presented. The article certainly needs to be rewritten to remove POV issues, but WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP and the references in the article already present the subject's notability. SilverserenC 01:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Being sourced to older articles is not a basis for deletion alone, but only [1] appears to be significant coverage of the organization itself so I don't think it passes WP:NORG. The sources seem to be news (WP:NOTNEWS) about an injured dog and imported pets or routine coverage of a small local organization. Reywas92Talk 17:21, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      The review notes: "While she show offers interesting information (for example, one episode talks about how to tell the difference between black and white rhinos), the overall feeling is that there's something missing. That Hanna is a strong cheerleader for animal conservation and educating kids about animals is without doubt -- but there's a difference between being a cheerleader and being an apologist. Hanna routinely dances around more substantive issues."

      The review notes: "Animal Adventures is somewhat lighter and breezier than other wildlife shows. Kids will find it sweet when Jack kisses a dolphin and may lobby for scuba lessons when they see him jump into a pool filled with colorful tropical fish. One word of caution: Although the show has plenty of endearing moments, some episodes include a few graphic encounters as well."

      The review gave three out of four stars. The review notes: "Television personality, author, and director of the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, Jack Hanna is the amiable on-camera host of this informative, lively program about the care and feeding of baby animals in captivity. ... A no-frills nature documentary with its fair share of entertaining facts. Two paws up."

      The article notes: "The company's most successful show, 15-year-old Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures, is available weekly in 93% of the U.S. In a good week, it has pulled in higher ratings than The Ellen DeGeneres Show. ... The household rating for Animal Adventures is averaging 1.5 this season, putting it somewhere around No. 85 among the 153 shows rated by Nielsen. It is tied with NBC Universal's The Jane Pauley Show. The FCC has been one of Hanna's biggest supporters, awarding him the U.S. government's seal of approval: Animal Adventures can be included as part of a station's requirement to broadcast at least three hours of educational programming each week."

      The article notes: "Have you ever been knocked over by a gorilla or bitten by a shark? Such is the life of Jack Hanna in his weekly series, Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures. ... Hanna does part of each show from his base camp at Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay, Florida. But he also travels all around the world. ... Hanna loves working with animals. Even so, it is not an easy job. He was bitten in the leg by a lion just last year. And a five-foot-long crocodile leaped out of his hands and grabbed the end of a $40,000 camera. ... Another painful episode happened thanks to an emu. An emu is an Australian bird related to an ostrich. "He kicked me in the groin," said Hanna, putting me out of work for three days!""

      The review notes: "The animal magnetism of Jack Hanna continues to charm a growing TV audience, and now video retailers have a chance to do the wild thing as well. Three first-time-on-video titles "Baby Boomers," "Gorilla Quest," and "It's Elephant Time!"- spotlight a trio of his most popular programs. Automatic winner "Baby Boomers" is an up-close and personal visit with the truly young and restless, including baby giraffes, gorillas, Africa's wondrous native sons. Lighter than National Geographic, but substantive enough to qualify as educational programming."

      The article notes: "When his series Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures began in 1993, I was delighted by the opportunity to watch him weekly. The show aired early Saturday mornings, in the block of time reserved for children's shows. As I watched, though, I began to notice something a little odd. The commercials weren't all for kids' stuff. There were ads for moisturizing lotions and room fresheners. It turns out I wasn't the only middle-aged woman who found the Homo sapiens as much fun to watch as the other species on the show. About 49 percent of viewers were women between the ages of 18 and 64."

      The article notes: "Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures, which he hosts with daughter Kathaleen, airs on the PAX network six days each week. It's also syndicated internationally ... One of the most fascinating episodes of Animal Adventures was a behind-the-scenes look at the preparation and logistics involved in producing a Jack Hanna segment for Good Morning America."

      The review notes: "From the opening sequence of this American wildlife show for kids, it's obvious that Jack Hanna loves what he does. There he is with parrots on his head, or skidding around in a Land Rover, or running away from a lion. This man, unashamed goon that he is, has a show pitched at just the right level for its audience. Today's effort, called Mating Games, has Jack asking: "Just how do animals fall in love?" To answer his question, a series of experts are wheeled on to explain how jellyfish, camels and condors, among others, do it. Jack receives each nugget of information with exaggerated wonderment and, in turn, makes every fact seem wonderful."
