The result of the move request was: no consensus, leaning not moved. Reasonable arguments in opposition that have not been addressed. Jenks24 (talk) 16:18, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pete the Cat → Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes – "Pete the Cat" doesn't unambiguously refer to "Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes", which is what this article is about. Pete the Cat is a series with many, many books. Enervation (talk) 00:50, 20 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 23:12, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Would you be creating an overview article for the series, or a set index article for the set of books? -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 05:18, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. What information we present here is poorly organized and poorly summarized by the section headings. We have almost nothing to say in biography Eric Litwin (less about Litwin's career that we say here) and there are no other related pages. For now the lead should be clear that this page covers the fictional character (as the hatnote says but we barely begin to deliver), the picture book series, the first picture book heavily, and that "Pete the Cat" may refer to any of the three. This page should represent all three in various categories. Perhaps none of Eric Litwin, James Dean, and Kim Dean is WP:NOTABLE and all should be covered only here (as the Deans are now). That concerns only the later sections, however; not the lead or categories. --P64 (talk) 19:06, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose make article about book series not just one book. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:25, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pete the Cat is this or that

Just now I expanded the lead section with a second paragraph that identifies Pete the Cat as the book series and its main character, as well as the original book that the lead sentence identifies. I suggest that somebody go further and make the first book I Love My White Shoes secondary to the main character and the series.

In the same revision I added one External link related to the same point -- Pete the Cat search results at WorldCat -- which may be useful to the proverbial "somebody".

Numerous little changes, mainly in the preceding revision, are unrelated to the preceding discussion of the scope of this page (above, #Requested move 20 August 2015). --P64 (talk) 22:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Woof!

I wish I was in the above discussion, I'm going to start tinkering with this, makes no sense to have "Pete the cat" point to a single book (or even series there of). If so, we should redirect and move this page appropriately. I agree there should be one on the series of books, and one on the character himself, assuming both can hold up reference-wise.

The Book or Character?

The infobox is about the book, while the page is about the character? Huh? LeGoldenBoots (talk) 02:38, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I find this confusing as well. 208.98.222.101 (talk) 01:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
