Non-notable dog. There is no policy about the oldest thing being notable. Sources are just WP:ROUTINE coverage about the dog's death. » Shadowowl | talk 10:13, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The oldest sources covering Pusuke come from 2010 , around the time the dog was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records (see Mixed-breed mutt may be world's oldest living dog; 25-year-old canine survived being hit by car. (2010, Jun 01). The Vancouver Sun. Available at Proquest). Pusuke then got a ton of international coverage in 2011 around its date of death. These two years are when Pusuke received the most substantial coverage. The dog later received some coverage a year later when the next oldest dog died and from this 2014 book. However, this later coverage simply stated that the dog was once the oldest living dog before its death at the age of 26. Honestly, this AfD could go either way: there’s enough information to write a decent article, but it largely comes from a rather narrow span of time.

After some more thought I believe that this article should be kept since there is enough information to write a decent article and because the sources covering Pusuke range over several years. Further, while dogs routinely die, it is incredibly unusual for a dog's death to receive international news coverage. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:20, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep GNG is met; there's no reason that WP:ROUTINE coverage can't meet WP:GNG here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:32, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
