message: Wikipedia policy requires WP:RELIABLE sources to support the WP:NOTABILITY of an article. If these cannot be found, then the article should be either merged or deleted. It would appear that a compromise cannot be reached, therefore I recommend that the WP:Dispute resolution process be initiated regarding this matter. William Harristalk 21:19, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose the question is will User:7&6=thirteen engage with that process? Cavalryman (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The process includes WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE, which can result in referral to WP:ANI. I suggest that you initiate the less-formal WP:THIRDOPINION in the first instance. (If you both prefer to keep the matter within the Dogs project, you might give User:SMcCandlish a call - he is the best "Wikipedia lawyer" and fair-minded philosopher that I have ever come across here.)

thread_title: Dispute resolution

message: Should sources that discuss dog breeds with the words "mountain dog" in the English translation of their breed name (the most prominent example is Bernese Mountain Dog), be used to establish the existence of a broader "mountain dog type", particularly when those sources make no reference to the existence of such a type? Cavalryman (talk) 06:41, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Whilst on the subject of DNA analysis, Parker 2017 shows the Bernese mountain dog and the Switz mountain dog falling in the same clade as the Leonberger and the Saint Bernard, yet I do not see these listed as "mountain dogs". The article Mountain dog lists the Greater Pyrenees, but does not list its nearest genetic clade brother, the Pharoah hound. It also does not include the real mountain dog - the Tibetan mastiff - and I assume this is because it did not have the word "mountain" in its breed name.

thread_title:  RfC:Use of sources to establish a "mountain dog" type 

message: Hello User:BigWhiteFireDog, you have reverted my edits that relate to this global dog type. Given that this type of collar may be used in some provinces of Italy, Spain, and Turkey by some shepherds - and the sources in the Wolf collar article are not WP:SECONDARY sources - three countries still does not make wolf collars "common" on the global scale.
As for your edit summary of "I work with these dogs around the world. They are still in wide-spread use and more so now thaw wolves are being reintroduced", you are asking us to accept your "original research" per WP:OR. You will need to provide WP:RELIABLE sources which other editors can WP:VERIFY to support this statement. William Harris (talk) 10:05, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Great. Show your sources that say they are not in use anywhere else. BigWhiteFireDog (talk) 17:55, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
