Darla the dog has received insufficient coverage to merit a standalone article. Only claim to notability is having starred in a few high profile films, and Notability is not inherited. Sources are questionable; consisting only of a blog, a Facebook page, and an apparently self-published source. The only other substantive source found in a WP:BEFORE was this Screenrant article, which appears to primarily regurgitate the information in the subject's Wikipedia article. silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 09:15, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I couldn't find sufficient sources to show notability. Suonii180 (talk) 11:41, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all kinds of articles about any old random dog found, nothing for this one. Oaktree b (talk) 15:50, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree, notability is not inherited or determined by cuteness. Dronebogus (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep, many canine actors have pages on Wikipedia, nothing unusual about it. This dog is well known to the point of its role and name as Precious in Silence of the Lambs being familiar to millions of film "buffs" and her page actually mentions her status as "a cult icon" (for more sources see this and other search engine links). The rational for this move that an actor's "notability is not inherited" from their starring roles in films would remove thousands of actor's pages from Wikipedia!
