A fact from Casper (cat) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 February 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Casper the Commuting Cat is a book about the true story of a cat who was a regular bus commuter in Plymouth, England?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/February.

Why is this notable?

Seriously, it's an article about a cat that liked to ride buses? What am I missing here? Noformation (talk) 21:00, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's notability requirments have been met. The article is sourced by multiple non-trivial reliable secondary sources. —Bruce1ee^talk 08:01, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I second the question why a cat riding a bus is worth an entry in Wikipedia. "...and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.236.136 (talk) 03:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both a book and a news event. It's completely relevant and all-together interesting. No doubt we should keep it. Jhunt47 (talk) 21:36, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Image

I emailed South West News Service to see if they would be kind enough to licence an image of Casper. We can upload one under fair use but it would be nice to have a high resolution one which are not allowed under fair use. I mentioned that they can respond on this talk page or me directly for the how-to of adding their image. The easiest way may be to paste a link here to an image that has one of our acceptable licences on the website for that image. They can insist on attribution for all uses of the image in any form they choose. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en is a very common licence.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:37, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
