Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seamus (dog) (2nd nomination)
A number of editors have cited  as grounds for deleting this article.  Everything in the news is not entitled to a Wikipedia article.  However, the Seamus incident is not a one-time news story.  It has been in the news repeatedly since 2007, it has been covered by foreign newspapers, it has been mentioned in books, two super PACs have been formed just around this issue, national polls have been taken on this issue, and when Diane Sawyer interviewed the Romneys, this was the issue that the most viewers inquired about.  As I said in my earlier post, the issue is not whether we believe that the story should have so much media coverage, but whether it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.  Wikipedia's policy on |notability of news states that notability is based on depth of coverage, duration of coverage, the diversity of sources.  Based on the vast number and types of sources discussing Seamus over the last five years, it is pretty clear that the article meets the notability standard. It would be unusual for a topic with as much popular interest and media coverage as Seamus (dog) not to have a Wikipedia article
