Dab page with two entries: replace with a hatnote leading from the magazine to the general practice. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't see any reason for there to be a dab page for two entries. I say that we delete this, move the magazine to this name (since the page will be empty) and add a hatnote to the top of the article directing them to the practice. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It actually looks like the magazine was originally at this location. Justin, if you're willing to place a WP:G6 on the page then I'll move it myself. No real need for a full out AfD for this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:19, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as dab page, noting that the magazine is about to change its title to Catster. Or alternatively, redirect to Animal fancy (as Cat fancy, lower-case "f" already does), where there is already a hatnote to point to the magazine. I am not convinced that a US magazine is the international Primary Topic for the phrase. PamD 15:31, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Cat fancy is already a redirect to Animal fancy, so the only way to even get to this page is to type "Cat Fancy" with the capital F. Plus, if the magazine is about to change its name, neither of the titles on the dab page will be the titles of the actual articles. It will be a dab page to two redirects. Why can't this be handled with hatnotes? – Margin1522 (talk) 20:11, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the G6 since PamD has argued against the move it can't reasonabel be seen as untroversial. That said, I agree the page should be deleted and replaced with the magazine article. A hat note is preferrable to a dab page when there are only two possible targets. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and move Cat Fancy (magazine) back to this title. The original move, which occurred without discussion, contradicts Wikipedia's naming conventions. (In particular, see WP:DIFFCAPS.) When a user searches for "Cat Fancy" (with an uppercase "F") it's far more likely that he/she seeks our article about the magazine than anything else.
Also, my understanding is that Catster is a new magazine with a different format and publication schedule, not a continuation of Cat Fancy under a different name. (The page to which PamD linked actually corroborates this, noting that Dog Fancy and Cat Fancy are "shutting down, to be replaced by print versions of the Web sites Dogster and Catster.") —David Levy 17:59, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
