Deletion of Marius (giraffe)

Comment: There's little notability here; if anything's notable, it's the general policies of the Copenhagen Zoo.  Most of the keeps appear to be simply trying to jump around  by saying "Oh, it's important right now" but determining whether the notability is temporary is the *point* not something to just ignore.  In addition, social importance is irrelevant here -- we care about the notability of the subjects of articles, not whether the articles aid or hinder causes

Comment: with Copenhagen Zoo. Everyone loves fluffy animals, but it doesn't outweigh the fact that the animal is a . As such, content should be merged into the parent article which in this case is the zoo. Also, this need for a seperate article appears to be attracting more attention because of |recentism. Valuable content, just not sufficient enough to demonstrate timeless or long term notability. I'll even complete the merge myself if someone {{tl|ping}}s me when this closes

Comment: meets . The story has moved on from being a news event and has provoked a worldwide debate on whether culling is the best approach to manage genetic issues in such animals. A merge to Copenhagen Zoo would be a sub-optimal action since even the present content is disproportionate to the balance of that article. Further,  broadening this page may be a valid future action

Comment: A separate article looks like the best way to ensure that the information remains in Wikipedia. The relevant section in the Copenhagen Zoo article already looks like the issue might end up dominating that article possibly leading to calls for cutting on grounds of |recentism. This event may well be cited in the future when the issues around the existence of zoos are raised which would disprove claims that this is solely news. The article can be an article for deletion candidate again in a few years if this proves not to be the case
