Date created from a redirect fine, as is the length. The hook cite needs to be inline. There are several problem citiation tags and also the GNG tag at the top which will need to be sorted @Philafrenzy: and @Whispyhistory:. A QPQ is also needed. The picture licence is fine but the image is not currently in the article. No close paraphrasing. But these issues need sorting before I can pass it. The C of E God Save the Queen!

- Some users are trying to have this dog put-down and buried in the pet cemetery of list of cross-breeds with a short obituary. In pursuit of this they have thrown every tag they can think of at the article but I think there's life in this dog yet. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:55, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- That is because there is not one WP:RELIABLE source that uses this name. "Some users" do not want Wikipedia to become a laughing stock. Refer Talk:Gerberian Shepsky#Did you know nomination - the issue has not been resolved. William Harris (talk) 04:10, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- It may be the Common Name now. That's how it works - someone makes up a common name and some of them gain traction and stick. Even if not, the article can easily be moved to "German Shepherd-Huskie cross" or something similar. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:23, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Philafrenzy, your response above appears to be an admission that it may be WP:TOOSOON for this as an independent article. Cavalryman (talk) 09:35, 13 October 2020 (UTC).
- You are confused. My comment was about the article title. Toosoon relates to notability which matter was settled in the AFD. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:02, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- No, notability was not established for this article at AfD, please show me where it was. There is one source. Cavalryman (talk) 10:09, 13 October 2020 (UTC).
- Nine sources in the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:08, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Philafrenzy I have no desire for conflict, the sources just don’t stack up. Only one uses the name and comes close to WP:SIGCOV, the other eight are fleeting mentions three of which are inconsistent with the definition of this crossbreed. Cavalryman (talk) 22:04, 13 October 2020 (UTC).

There is no reference which states "that the FBI's first therapy dog was a Gerberian Shepsky named Dolce". That remains a fact. Therefore, that statement should not appear as a DYK. William Harris (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Note that the article currently has notability and merge tags, so the nomination can't be passed until those are resolved. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory and Philafrenzy: Any updates on this? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:29, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory and Philafrenzy: As there has been no response from either of you over the past few weeks in spite of multiple pings, the nomination may be marked for closure within the next few days if neither of you can comment here and respond to the existing concerns. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:44, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5:...waiting to see if article is kept/deleted/redirected or has a change in name. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:06, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: Given that the nomination is now one of the oldest remaining ones and little progress has been made, the nomination may be closed as stale unless the non-merge request-related concerns are not addressed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:30, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, the merger discussion has been closed as merge and the merger has been restored, this should probably be closed. Kind regards, Cavalryman (talk) 00:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC).
