{{db-nonsense}} ? It makes absolutely no sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lunakeet (talk • contribs) 17:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Kinda verging on it. The real topic here is pig–boar hybrids, which exist in various places in Europe and Asia, and places where Europeans brought both animals, including Australia and North America (e.g., in the US they're often called "back-bred" breed, if (and only if) independent sourcing for this can be found. It can't come only from primary sourcing connected to those promoting their pigs under such a name. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 14:53, 5 December 2018 (UTC)]

- In more detail: The general pattern seems to be to prefer wild–domestic order, when applicable (also found in fully-fused compounds like javelinas, we should presume that an article on boar–pig hybrids is exactly what we need. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 03:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)]
- Support, as nominator. To provide some "where this is going" rationale: For WP:FAITACCOMPLI reasons, I have refrained from rewriting this article completely (as mentioned in the thread above) to be about the general topic, and to mention "Iron Age pig" as a breeding-experiment subtopic only if it can be reliably sourced in multiple independent sources (not just breeder websites, which we're fortunately not advertising I mean "citing" right now). But that rewrite needs to happen. It's apparent in seconds that this article opening with a breeder marketing term and talking about speciality livestock available in Europe is inappropriate. An "Iron Age pig" mongrel developed for pork connoisseurs in Russia after they lost their Australian supply due to meat export law changes isn't an encyclopedia topic. Hybrid pigs, which are an invasive species on three continents, is (though it's hard to tease apart the hybrid pigs and feral domestic pigs in some of the source material, especially when the regulatory agencies don't care to distinguish much). The first para of the lead needs to move to a subsection, if it's kept at all. We also need some stuff on natural hybridization in Eurasia, where this happened more often and for millennia longer. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 03:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)]
- Support under WP:PRECISION. I was hoping to find out about some ancient battle-porker, and was then most disappointed by what I found. William Harris • (talk) • 10:52, 12 December 2018 (UTC)]
