Wikijunior:Big Cats/Tigons and Ligers
Original comment (and made to be a speedly deletion):This page is not good for a young children's textbook. Not only will it confuse little children, few adults will have heard of them, and therefore may the book's usefulness. It just plain undermines the project.


 * I'll go with delete. Good article for Wikipedia, though! --Member 4 July 2005 22:22 (UTC)


 * Say whaaat? it undermines the project to list cool, unusual information? Sj 08:08, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Name one book for children that talks about them.--Naryathegreat|(talk) 02:13, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep it. This shouldn't be deleted, or it certainly needs to have wider input before the deletion occurs, perhaps reworking the content into another Wikijunior article about cross-breeding in general.  This Wikibook (Wikijunior Big Cats) has been relatively inactive for some time, so if deletion occurs, please wait a little bit longer than normal to kill it so the content can be properly adapted, and put a warning on the Big Cats talk page that deletion is going to occur in xx days.Rob Horning


 * Keep (assuming it's accurate). Wikijunior defines the targeted age range for the project to be 8-11 years. I think kids of that age would find it funny, not confusing. At that age, simple puns and word-play are quite appealing, and this forms a good method of teaching. Besides even if "few adults" have heard of it, so what? They're far more apathetic and ignorant than many kids anyway. Perhaps Wikijunior books should define their target age range on their main page (the meta page is somewhat vague about this), otherwise it's going to be considerably more difficult to say for certain whether the content is appropriate or not. - Aya 8 July 2005 17:44 (UTC)


 * Keep - Since the page isn't vandalism or blatantly false, keeping or deleting should be up to wikijunior contributors alone. Kellen 05:22, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - this is an interesting topic. It should be distinct from normal big cats, but I think it is something that could really be enjoyed by the readers


 * Keep, but reword - Most little kids would probably not understand some of the words used in there ("hybrid", "fertile", "dwarfism", etc.). --MichTheWeird 17:47, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
