Declined an inappropriate speedy on this one, and bringing to a wider audience to determine whether this phenomenon is worthy of an article. Stephen 05:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As described by Indo-Asian News Service, it is a general phenomenon common at Indian airports [1]. "Animals on runway, it’s usual in India" Major mainstream media in India and even international media have noted stray animals pose significant problem in Indian runways.

• Keep per Neptune's points. The article could stand a better title though. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 07:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep since it seems to be notable. Kitfoxxe (talk) 08:30, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment probably a keeper, but "Stray animals at Indian airports" would probably convey the meaning better. The subject is the danger of animals that stray on to the runways, posing a significant threat to safety. My first impression was that this would be something inside the terminal.

• Keep or merge. Clearly meets WP:RS, but title seems like a lightning rod. I think the best existing merge candidate would be Transport in India#Aviation. Haus^Talk 01:51, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Transport_in_India#Aviation is a brief overview of aviation in India, so merging this content will be problematic as it will consume most of the space. As it is a significant phenomenon in India, a separate article will be good. --Neptune 123 (talk) 02:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep without merging Neptune's argument against merger is convincing. The presence of multiple reliable sources directly addressing the topic, when combined with many useful tangential reliable sources, is a demonstration that we should have an article on this topic. Nyttend (talk) 04:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep without merging - the topic is notable on its own and has enough GNG directly relating to it.--Sodabottle (talk) 05:38, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. SNOW? Stonemason89 (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
