Looks to be an WP:OR combination of this word used a few different times. Each time there are only trivial mentions, which isn't enough for WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG. Jontesta (talk) 01:56, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

• Comment. I did PROD it before, but have you seen this comment by User:Toughpigs? I'd think it should be addressed (debunked) before AfD. I don't have time to double check right this minute, but I didn't AfD this after seeing it back then. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:17, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
• Comment, it could be merged with When pigs fly as a similar concept. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:38, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
• Merge I have to agree with Toughpigs that I don't see a problem with WP:PLOT here, with the Steinbeck section talking about a real person using a symbol on their real correspondence. As most of what we have is sourced, I don't see a problem with WP:OR, either. I am not sure if this meets WP:GNG or not, not having searched myself, so I suggest to merge in the spirit of WP:AtD to When pigs fly (where the Steinbeck story is already present), John Steinbeck and List of Oz characters (post-Baum), as appropriate. If someone were to find sources demonstrating WP:GNG is fullfilled, I would be happy to change my !vote. Daranios (talk) 10:52, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

  I support merge. If Daranios thinks the case for stand-alone article is weak, but we can preserve content this way, well, no brainer. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

• Merge per all. This is borderline for the WP:GNG but there is at least trivial coverage that could be tied into the Steinbeck story at when pigs fly, as per Daranios. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:59, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
• Keep or merge with the suggested targets. For the version seen in the Land of Oz, I ask that it's information be merged with the Pigasus section of the List of Oz characters (post-Baum) page by the closer of this discussion. --Rtkat3 (talk) 03:17, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
