Well, this meaningless entry has survived yet another AfD. I hope the people who voted keep will continue their support for the article by showing us *how* this can be expanded beyond the few sentences it has now. I'm waiting to see that. Thanks. --Ragib 03:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know why the cat was named India ?--71.163.67.245 18:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article. --Ragib 18:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added a Response in India to External Links. Should it be extended ?--71.163.73.45 20:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He, He, I, for one take it as a complement they named a black cat India ;) --h y dka t 21:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's sad people would be offended by it. The joke, of course, is that Bush would almost certainly not be offended to know that 101 dogs had been named after him, so the "revenge" backfired. What people in India probably don't know is that India is historically a moderately common girl's name in the American South. I knew a girl in high school whose name was India Jane, and Ashley Wilkes's sister in Gone with the Wind was named India. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 16:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

This article has little scope to expand beyond the few sentences currently present. The presidential cats are not notable by themselves, so devoting a whole article on a cat is not necessary. Any information can be merged with List of United States Presidential pets, which lists other pets kept by US presidents. I do not see any proof that this particular cat has any notability by itself, other than being a presidential cat, and having a whitehouse.gov page on it seemingly written for kindergarteners. So, I propose merger of it into List of United States Presidential pets and making this into a redirect. --Ragib 10:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, merge this article. Has no information and only has two lines. Gman124 ^talk 21:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree, strong merge. Whatever next George W. Bush's tadpole! Seth Whales (talk) 20:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The article looks fine to me; a merge to GWB is absurd as the article is overstuffed as it is, and the List page is targeted at a very brief summary, perhaps a sentence or two - which this article certainly is not. India may not be Socks or Buddy, but it's notable enough for me. --Gwern (contribs) 00:23 14 September 2008 (GMT)

Oppose per Gwern. --Pete Tillman (talk) 21:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Rates a line in GWB.--Regents Park (sniff out my socks) 21:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge – no brainer. What's next, an article on Tinker Belle? Is this what we've come down to on Wikipedia? I vote for merging with the List. The clear lack of content in this article is evidence enough that it shouldn't stand on its own. AreJay (talk) 22:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
