• My concern that leads me to oppose is that I don't believe the new title provides adequate disambiguation. Sure, the animated Blue is fictional, but that doesn't make dog an unambiguous distinction, just as we couldn't put a real lion at Aslan (lion) because Aslan is from a book. I think it might be a clearer case if the Don Cherry blue was more well known, but common usage seems to bring up the animated Blue, other non-notable Blue's, or even the Blue from Old Blue (song) before it gets to this one. I don't have any issue with the Blue (dog) named being pointed away from the animated character and to the dab page though.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:50, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. There are two evident problems here: there's nothing in this article to suggest that this dog or series of dogs has any kind of notability independent of that of the owner, so the page should probably become a redirect (at which point the title is of fairly minimal importance); and secondly, the current disambiguation is deceptive – if we see that there's a page about "Don Cherry's dog", we can reasonably expect it to be about a dog owned by the world-famous Don Cherry, not by this person.

• Further comment I've redirected the page to Blue's Clues per the outcome of this old discussion. If that doesn't stick I suppose there's always AfD. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:57, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. I agree with Yaksar, the proposed move would effectively create a
  WP:INCDAB, and this is not one of the rare situations where incomplete disambiguation is appropriate. Colin M (talk) 02:41, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Oppose per Yaksar, Blue's Clues gets 34,068 views compared with only 429[[1]] for this one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose if I felt like arguing I would straight up AFD
  Blue (Don Cherry's dog) during this discussion. It's certainly not more important than the character from Blue's Clues. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 02:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply
