Pakistani cat (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request

BRPever has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: The page is probably about Himalayan cat but I am not sure about redirecting. The title of this page is confusing, Pakistani cat can mean any or all cats in Pakistan. Probably a clear-cut case unless the title is another common name. BRP ever 15:14, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

  • Redirect to "Colourpoint" as per World Cat Federation. This is the simplest, as other classifications are split as to how best to classify what is really a moving target (because all cat fancy breeds are constantly being "improved"). I will create those pages now, as a basis. Incidentally, if we keep the page as is, it should still be moved. Pakistan has no particular standing as far as cat breed classifications go.

    • @Macdonald-ross: Could you explain more why this should be done? This article seems to be about a breed, but "colourpoint" refers to markings that could be on different breeds. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:06, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Because 'colourpoint' is the WCF breed classification for this pattern of cat. I suppost we could have yet another page titled 'colourpoint (cat breed)'. The point is that the WCF does not list the breeds as separate. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:21, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 15:14, 28 September 2018 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.
