Non-notable; fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. The huge and redundant "cite pile-up" for a single statement in the article, and the few other sources elsewhere in the page, are about dog temperament testing in general, or simply about pit bulls. They are not about this organization, which is mentioned in passing at best. Of the sources that are still working URLs, several make no mention of ATTS, and two are self-published ATTS documents. Zero provide in-depth coverage of ATTS. Some WP:SUMMARY-style information about the organization should simply be included at Temperament test, which already has two subsections for other specific testing approaches. Denuded of redundant ciations, the current stub's full text is probably okay as the full text of such a subsection, so merge to Temperament test is probably the way to go on this. I'm opening this an AfD because a merge proposal on the talk page might languish for a year or two, and this quasi-article should not be retained in the interim.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  08:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note I am willing to accept a merger to Temperament test as a compromise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwanyewest (talk • contribs) 14:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  The American Temperament Test Society is recognized by the American Kennel Club as legitimate that surely counts for something surely? [1]. Dwanyewest (talk) 13:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  Why would an agreement between company A and company B be meaningful in this context? Microsoft probably has a contract with a catering company to provide food at its board meetings, but that doesn't make the caterer notable. Notability does not rub off. This fact you've brought up is not indiscriminate trivia of course, so it's good to mention in the text, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether to use a stand-alone article page for it. Please understand, Dwanyewest, no one is critical of the content or you for having added it; this is just a matter of where to put it.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  18:24, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
