Delete, but summarize at List of experimental cat breeds (which needs to happen anyway, even if this is kept). I spent about 6 hours trying to save this, but it's just not salvageable. All of the sources (that are actually pertinent to this alleged breed – it's actually an experimental crossbreed) are self-published, or otherwise unreliable. The low-end news bits I can find about it are all just regurgitation of the breeders' claims. This "breed" has no recognition by any breed registry other than Rare and Exotic Feline Registry, which exists solely to provide pedigree service for breeds rejected by or too new for the mainstream national and international registries. The article makes a claim of provisional recognition in The International Cat Association, but this failed verification at their site. A list of breeders showed only 8 in the world (all in the US, plus one in Canada) working with this crossbreed [1] (maybe a dozen these days?), so this appears to fail the WP:NFT test.
I did add the Daily Mail as a source, since it confirms one (but not the other) of the claimed breed originators' names, and the year the breed started. The rest of it's just rehash of promo materials. The ABC15.com (KNXV-TV) local news bit is worthless; just a profile of a local breeder, and reports promotional, pseudoscientific nonsense like the cats being hypoallergenic (claims also made and debunked about the mostly hairly Sphynx breed on which the Elf is based; people are allergic to an enzyme in cat saliva, and it has nothing to do with the hairs; these nude breeds actually have to have their skin cleaned regularly because sebaceous secretions and saliva get all gunked up on them). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 12:05, 20 October 2017 (UTC); updated: 13:04, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
