Cat door

Cat door is a redirect, thus NPOV demnds we link openly to cat flap, SqueakBox 21:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

NPOV doesn't demand open links. There's nothing POV about nonopen links. Otherwise, all links to English would have to be changed to English language to be NPOV.

I didnt say all links but this one indeed is pure POV, the alternative is to Afd this article, SqueakBox 23:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Then you don't understand what POV means then. How could any nonopen links be POV? I don't think that's possible. If you are to say that this link is POV, logically you'd have to say that all nonopen links are POV. Otherwise it's nonsense. Voortle 00:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

You dont appear to be a logician, you are making an incorrect first premise, SqueakBox 00:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Can we just let this be?

there was a lot of ridiculous bickering at cat flap (which does indeed focus on doors for cats), so why can't we leave this as a solution? most people that i know (and, statistically, a likely majority of english speakers worldwide) would use the term "dog door" more than the almost unheard of "catflap", and as the two devices are generally advertised as such, how about we stop complaining and just leave this up? creating an entry for cat doors and not dog doors seems rather POV. i hope none of you have an anti-dog bias. ;)67.172.61.222 21:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

If you see the main article, cat flap, you'll find that "cat flap" is the term used by two popular dictionaries of the English language. No mention of "dog door". - FrancisTyers · 22:27, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

This article should be called Dog FlapOxyman42 20:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Doggie doorDog door — "Dog door" is more commonly used than "doggie door", as you can see if you look them up in quotes on Google, you will see that "dog door" returns more results. -- IRP 20:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
