Recreation due to discovery of secondary sources[edit]

The 3rd nomination resulted in a deletion due to a lack of secondary sources. Since then, new secondary sources were published.

At Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Meow Wars (2nd nomination) I announced to participants of the above AFDs that I discovered secondary sources (dating from 2016 and 2014) - @Seraphimblade: and @Dicklyon: responded - first stated that if a second source was found it would be a good start (and I did find a second source from a reliable published book) and the second stated that there were now sufficient sources. With that in mind I recreated the article.

The 2008 deletion was not wrong (as the cited sources did not exist at that time) - instead it's a matter of new sources appearing. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:23, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
