Deletion of Catahoula bulldog

Comment: probably into Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog, with sources.  Relevant material may also work in the list of crossbreeds. An article with zero sources clearly fails notability and  is not a rationale for keeping

Comment: to Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog, since the subject of the contested article |clearly lacks |independent notability, which is why the text is free of the |necessary & appropriate outside references.

Comment: into Mongrel.  I can appreciate the work that's gone into this article, and I applaud collaborative work that's built the article to its current state.  Still, I don't see where it has made any claim to have established Wikipedia:Notability|notability, and as it is I feel it comes up short of our  section of that policy.  I suppose merging with the list of cross breed dogs or even with Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog is an option - but I think the most logical choice is to save what we can to the mongrel article

Comment: not being a proper breed is not in any way a valid reason for deletion, and I see no benefit in merging.  There are multiple books about this dog.  Many of them are self-published, (some of the authors may meet , I haven't investigated) but https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8cwKBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA78 this book has substantial coverage from a RS publisher

Comment: the opening few sentences in the lead state: :::{{xt|The Catahoula bulldog is a crossbreed dog created by crossing the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog and the American Bulldog. Currently, they are not considered a breed by any major fancier and breeder organization.}}  applies here - there are millions of Heinz 57 bred dogs, crossbreeds and individual crosses assumed to be a breed when they are not even a consistent type of dog because the information is anecdotally based and is unverifiable.  If anything '''REDIRECT''' or '''MERGE''' to Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog
