... that Barack Obama and Kamala were both euthanized?

Comment: I don't know what the procedure is for this, but I want to merge the Kamala (elephant) DYK into the Obama horse DYK which was already approved for April fools.

Barack's DYKN should be reopened and this hook should be proposed there, which I will do shortly. charlotte ^👸♥📱 04:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?

This seems to be an elephant WP:BIO1E, added notability tag. Its single source as to the trivial coincidence and all other sources cover the single non-notable event in a non-notable elephant's life. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:49, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BIO1E does not apply to non-humans. For an elephant, we use WP:GNG, which she passes. Di (they-them) (talk) 20:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:EVENTCRITERIA #4 - a routine kind of news event with a claimed viral phenomena, and the WP:GNG counter - WP:NOT § NEWS, reported death of an elephant. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 00:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
