The result was redirect, which will allow anyone interested to merge the content in the future. A redirect is for all intents and purposes the same as a redirect and delete, but simply allows for future use of the content in a "List of [...]" page where it will probably be appropriate for inclusion.

- Jackahuahua (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Appears to be a non-notable crossbreed of dog, no citations, "and there are few places where it is sold" (per article)... Adolphus79 (talk) 18:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. I had already PRODed this, and the PROD was removed by the editor so I was going to AfD it in a bit anyway. ~~ [Jam][talk] 18:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The American Kennel Club lists 145 breeds of dog. I don't think WP should have an article on each possible cross. Steve Dufour (talk) 18:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- KeepThe breed is gaining popularity. I added some external sites and a reference to an article in InTouch Magazine, in attempt to Wikify the page. While I agree having a list of every crossbreed seems like a lot, if they do have references in pop culture having an article for the breed on Wikipedia can only be helpful to the public 204.108.8.5 (talk) 18:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - 0 G-news hits, and the only G-hits I saw were either blogs or advertising links... and as far as the references that you added, the 'article' in InTouch was a couple pictures and a very short caption, and the Jackahuahua.net website was only just put up (29.05.08)... - Adolphus79 (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I found an article from The Sun, a British paper that also makes reference to the new cross breed and have included it in the article. So there are some news stories out there. 204.108.8.5 (talk) 19:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd hardly call "The Sun" a reliable source (but that is my opinion). ~~ [Jam][talk] 19:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Both of these sources are nothing more than a photo with a short caption, not a 'news story'... my photo has been in several papers in my life, but that does not mean I am notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes they are at max two paragraphs long, but they do include quotations from breeders about their gaining popularity. While it may not be ready for its own individual page, a Chiahuahua Hybird page might be a good solution.204.108.8.5 (talk) 19:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I think that only the most common dog crossbreeds should have their own article, however this should certainly be added to the List of dog hybrids without an article link, and perhaps warrants a mention in the parent breed articles. Or if there are many chiahuahua crossbreeds, maybe a page similar to Poodle hybrid could be created instead of this one? Addionne (talk) 18:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There are several chiahuahua crossbreeds, so a Chiahuahua Hybrid page does sound like a good idea! 204.108.8.5 (talk) 19:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I once had a Jack Russell/chihuahua mutt, and I'll concede that "Jackahuahua" is a cute name. This is about the intentional breeding of a purebred J.R. with a purebred Chihuahua, and as the article notes, it isn't very well known, and there are few places where it's sold. I don't think that this would be notable enough to justify its own article, but it rates a mention on the articles about the two breeds. Note that List of dog hybrids is limited to those few hybrids that do rate their own article, so there appears to be a standard to this. Mandsford (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
