The article Peanut the squirrel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This tiny stub of a biography for a squirrel in no way demonstrates that this creature passes WP:N. This is news trivia of the lowest order.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. GenevieveDEon (talk) 17:20, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sarah Cunningham (painter) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
