Neologism only used as an article title and nowhere in the references. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:42, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Little coverage in reliable sources. Not an article that is likely to be missed. Nwlaw63 (talk) 02:57, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Title could easily be changed to a more descriptive term if one is found. As it stands, this object is designed to cover up a pet's anus, making this seem like the best title for now. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 01:51, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is ultimately something that someone came up with one day as a novelty gift. The two novelty gift types did gain some coverage but it's all fairly recent. What we would need here is a depth of coverage beyond a one off mention in the news as one of those quirky slow news day stories. If we had an article for pet clothing I'd probably recommend a merge into that article, but we don't and this doesn't merit its own article at this point in time. On a side note, if anyone wants to write an article about pet clothing (ie, non-medical clothing and not things like the cone of shame) then I'd say that there might be some merit in having an article about the general subject. The thing about news stories like these is that gag gifts like these are really just reactions to the idea of dressing up your pet or doing something beyond the typical medical care and maintenance.

We do in fact have an article on dog clothing. FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 06:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
