Comment: into Barisha raid, where it's worth a paragraph or so. The usual rule for |people notable for one event is that we cover the event rather than the person, unless the event is very high profile and the peron's role is very substantial. Admittedly this is about an animal but I think the same rule should apply. The raid is a fairly significant event but I don't think the dog's role is enough to justify a separate article. Furthermore the article is likely to remain a stub more or less indefinitely given that basically all public information about the subject in it (including the fact that he's a good dog). That further suggests a standalone article isn't needed

Comment: Worldwide coverage in national press (The Guardian, The Times, Newsweek, Time etc.) goes a long way towards establishing notability. We have two instances of notability (the raid, Trump's dumb joke) so this isn't a  situation (which is, strictly speaking, only a policy for ''people'' and not dogs). Conan is the name that the dog is known by at this point. Sure, there are reasons to be dubious about how likely this is to get sustained coverage, but this is also exactly the kind of dumb thing that people will talk about as an additional topic whenever they discuss the general topic of the raid that killed Baghdadi, which is something they're likely going to discuss for a long time so it's a pass for the Wikipedia:Ten year test|ten year rule. Whilst  is a bad argument, it is at least instructive to consider the various articles related to winners of the Dickin Medal

Comment: Broad international coverage, although there isn't too much information available yet so many sources have the same details. Although we can't use a |crystal ball, we are able to use some judgment in that the dog will be in the White House next week and certainly is likely to be given some awards because this was a very high-level military operation. Sadly  does not give much guidance on individual animals, but per |other stuff this dog would seem to be in line with many entries at List of individual dogs

Comment: There has been |significant coverage, including international sources and even though |notability is not temporary, it is very likely there will be even more coverage. Nominator's argument {{tq|"his name being Conan is not even verified"}} is irrelevant as if we did not know the dog's name, once the notability has been established – and it has – the article title might as well temporarily be "Dog that chased down an austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State
