April the tapir

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested WP:PROD. Sent to WP:AfD in accordance with WP:CONTESTED. While this article appeals to my love of whimsey, it would appear to fail the test for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. As always, more than happy to be proven wrong. Shirt58 (talk) 11:47, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems to be covered in reliable sources. Maybe my whimsy threshold is lower than the nom's. Tigerboy1966 14:21, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Belize Zoo until there is some more on the subject. I think the current text would be a good addition to the zoo article. If the section expands enough it can be split out again. Don Lammers (talk) 15:07, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Has 2 independent sources, therefore meets notability guidelines. Op47 (talk) 17:53, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - any tapir that gets a government minister to her birthday party must have a reasonable level of notability. There are already multiple news sources in the article, I suspect there will be others available too, over recent years, particularly in April. Sionk (talk) 21:19, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, guess we don't have to worry about refs from her blog or her facebook profile.--Shirt58 (talk) 16:43, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as article creator) This tapir is a) the oldest living tapir in captivity, and b) her birthday (27 April) is now celebrated as National Tapir Day in Belize (the tapir is also the national animal of Belize), and World Tapir Day (see www.tapirday.org). Also referenced in a number of news articles. Many thanks, Anthony J Pintglass (talk) 11:03, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
