The page includes a photo of a lengthy newspaper article about the subject titled "Buurtpoes Bledder online" that was published in October 2012, 10 months before the subject's death.SBS6's television program '':nl:Hart van Nederland'' covered the subject's August 2013 death in https://web.archive.org/web/20130825124528/http://www.hartvannederland.nl/nederland/zuid-holland/2013/populaire-leidse-kat-overleden/ this article as did ''Algemeen Dagblad'' http://archive.is/2020.02.10-084625/https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2013/8/17/7/c/0/7c017cce-075a-11e3-989b-4a953677cbca.jpg here (metadata http://archive.is/2020.02.10-084322/https://www.catawiki.com/catalog/miscellaneous/manufacturers-publishers/algemeen-dagblad/3982969-bekende-buurtpoes-bledder-wordt-opgezet here), ''Leidsch Dagblad'' http://archive.is/2013.08.09-141048/https://sphotos-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/969829_422271854557609_1814527961_n.jpg here, and Omroep West https://web.archive.org/web/20130814214546/http://www.omroepwest.nl/nieuws/09-08-2013/dode-leidse-buurtkat-bledder-wordt-opgezet here. https://web.archive.org/web/20140107170624/http://www.vandaag.nl/leiden/nieuws/article26411163.ece/Buurtpoes-is-regionaal-woord-van-het-jaar This December 2013 article notes that ''Leidsch Dagblad'' declared "Buurtpoes" the word of the year in 2013 after the subject's death.Five years after the subject's death, the subject was covered in https://www.omroepwest.nl/nieuws/3675368/Herdenking-voor-populaire-buurtpoes-Bledder this article in Omroep West. The article's first paragraph notes (translation from Google Translate): "Cat Bledder from Leiden has been dead for exactly five years. "Well," you would say. But that is different in Leiden. The cat made the national news before its death and has its own Wikipedia and Facebook page because half of Leiden knew the beast. Bledder has been set up and is being put down for a day in the Velvet record store on the Nieuwe Rijn so that people can stop and talk to him. Students from the house on the Hartesteeg where Bledder still lives, deliver him early Tuesday morning to record store Velvet." The article mentions that the cat made the national news before it died and mentions in passing that he has a Wikipedia page. (I do not consider this passing mention of the cat's having a Wikipedia page to detract from the article's contributing to Buurtpoes Bledder establishing notability since the rest of the article focuses on how the people of Leiden are still remembering the cat.)That the subject was covered by reliable sources before, at, and after his death demonstrates he has received |sustained coverage. That this coverage was in national and regional newspapers and radio stations strongly establishes he is notable
