Doesn't seem to be a notable animal, just one of a group which gets closely followed, but not independently notable. We don't seem to have an article about the group, which might be the better solution than articles for all individuals in the group. Fram (talk) 08:10, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

• :I understand the position that not all animals tracked in this study are notable, but P-12 definitely is. Multiple articles from reliable sources establish its notability, and there are lots more articles that the ones that are cited. P-12 was literally credited with a genetic rescue by the National Park Service. That seems very notable to me (the genetic rescue wikipedia page only has three examples in total, I'm about to add this one which would be the fourth Gb321 (talk) 15:41, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
• ::Strong oppose: meant to put this in my previous response.
• ::Also, in the nomination for deletion, the nominator notes that it might be better to make an article for the group rather than individual articles. I am all for that, I just don't know what to call it since the study itself doesn't seem to have a name. I was thinking of creating a page titled: Santa Monica Mountains mountain lion study or Mountain lion study in the Santa Monica Mountains but I'm not sure. But even with this page made, I do maintain that some individual animals are deserving of their own page, P-22 obviously is but I think at the very least the following are as well: P-1, P-12, P-64, BB-12, and probably a couple others I haven't got to yet Gb321 (talk) 15:55, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
• Merge I think Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains or similar could be an appropriate way to cover not only the at least six mountain lions that have articles but also others that have been tracked and received coverage but don't have enough content for an article.

• Merge to Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. Does not have any coverage focusing on him as an individual as opposed to the community. Better covered as part of the population article. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:33, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
