deletion of “Soviet space dogs: Dezik and Tsygan”

I have been discussing this deletion by @Kiwipete at his Talk page and he has now requested that this discussion be transferred to the Talk page, therefore have copied the discussion below for other Editors to comment.

Regarding your recent deletion in July 22, can you please explain to me how “Soviet space dogs: Dezik and Tsygan” does not meet WP:EVENTDOY, yet this entry immediately below does?

1962 – Mariner program: Mariner 1 spacecraft flies erratically several minutes after launch and has to be destroyed.

There are many old entries which would not meet current standards like WP:EVENTDOY and WP:DOYCITE. There are several editors who are actively updating or removing such entries. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 18:41, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to “Dezik and Tsygan”, it looks like the main criteria for wp:EVENTDOY is that there is an article about the subject, which there is - Dezik and Tsygan. This subject is also mentioned in a number of other articles, including Soviet space dogs and Animals in space. Finally on notability, this was the first time dogs had been launched into space, and more importantly, have returned safely. Previous to this flight all the higher order animals were killed, either intentionally or by accident. I also note that Timeline of space exploration specifies “This is a timeline of space exploration which includes notable achievements, first accomplishments and milestones in humanity's exploration of outer space.” Given that the achievements of “Dezik and Tsygan” are notable enough to appear on this timeline, I believe it is notable enough to appear on the July 22 page. Therefore I request that you reconsider your deletion of this entry. Ilenart626 (talk) 04:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please take this to the article's talk page - you should seek a broader consensus. Kiwipete (talk) 08:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ilenart626 (talk) 10:22, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Has been no response to the above, so will re-establish the entry in this article. Ilenart626 (talk) 01:16, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
