Merger proposal:List of extinct dog breeds

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Oppose. William Harris (talk) 10:04, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge List of extinct dog breeds into this list, ~~likely~~ redirected to List of dog breeds#Extinct breeds and varieties. The former is an unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORK of this list. Cavalryman (talk) 13:28, 1 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Somehow I forgot to put merger tags on both articles, now corrected. I will not take any action for another seven days. Cavalryman (talk) 10:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Just as long as it's in a separate section as you suggest, I'm in favour. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:45, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support under its own section. The arrangement would then be very similar to the lists provided on Subspecies of Canis lupus. William Harristalk 22:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:LISTN - it is much easier navigation for readers and that is our goal. Like: List of defunct department stores of the United States and List of department stores of the United States. Easier navigation to have a standalone list. Lightburst (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:LISTN, which does not mention navigation, do you have evidence that a list of extinct dogs "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"? William Harristalk 22:51, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Check that and search for the word "navigation" it is quite clear about this. Dream Focus 19:45, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is screwing with a machine that works and is easy to use. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:32, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OPPOSE Enough valid content to have its own separate list. Also the other list has pictures of the animals, so you can find something that looks interesting to click on and read about, and a column where notes can be listed about them. [[User:Dream Focus | Drea<span

"List of dog races" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect List of dog races and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 28#List of dog races until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Dog breeds

I want to be a vet but cant unless i know all about them. 2A00:23C8:A92A:6B01:D130:E191:1BBC:6356 (talk) 16:51, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are citations needed?

Given all of these breeds have articles on them is a citation showing they exist/are notable really needed? Traumnovelle (talk) 07:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Format

The one giant list is a poorer format. When the lists were in text/columns there was more text on a screen and sections. Getting to the bottom of the list did not require endless scrolling. This is my view on a desktop; I have no idea what the current article looks like or how it functions on a phone. 73.218.17.248 (talk) 11:02, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, there is no extra info given with the table and there is no way to sort the table. It just uses up unnecessary amounts of space whilst leaving a lot of white space. Traumnovelle (talk) 18:54, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the bold step to RV to the old format/version. Traumnovelle (talk) 02:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very much agreed. I'm not sure why "references" need to be split into a column and can't just be added next to each breed as a footnote number, like it was before. Kryfie (talk) 02:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
