Appears to fail WP:GNG. Only 1 ref on the entire article so it's full of OR, the WP refs search only brings up 4 results, all for books on how to care for the dog, and pretty much anything past the 2nd page of a normal google search is just dog merch. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 00:04, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all I find are links for Stella Artois, the beer. Nothing about this kind of dog. Oaktree b (talk) 00:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment still looking for sources but for anyone else doing the same, seems like the French name ("chien d’artois") is also commonly used for this breed in English. Dylnuge ^{(Talk • Edits)} 05:20, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It isn't true that the article only has one reference; it also gives as general references two book sources, which are both available to view at the Internet Archive: [1], [2]. The Arthus-Bertrand source isn't available online, but I'm willing to assume good faith on that one. These three sources alone are enough to satisfy GNG.

Also: the article has an in-text reference to Manuel de Vénerie Française, which I believe to be available here, but I don't read French so I can't be sure that link verifies the information in the article. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 10:44, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Sojourner in the earth's sources and this lengthy article in an 1872 edition of The Oriental Sporting Magazine. The breed was clearly once much more well known than it is now. Dog encyclopaedias tend to give it only short entries now (eg [3]) because it is all but extinct. But once notable, always notable is policy whereas "not recognised by the Kennel Club" is not.
