The title of the article says it all. Plus, there are no refs and dubious choices dictators. Vladimir Putin was removed, but King of England is still listed. Bgwhite (talk) 20:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Serious reasons: violates WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:OR, and, since the keeping of pet cats by dictators is not an inherently notable topic, WP:GNG. Additional reason: it's a list of dictators who had cats. This just made my day. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (^Complaints|_Mistakes) 21:30, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:LISTCRUFT, and WP:OR are issues, there also seems to be no real relationship between being a dictator and having a cat. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:34, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete as per failure of WP:LSC and WP:V. Plus the potential for BLP vios and the general WP:TNT aspect. GAB^gab 01:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is so horrible I find it hard to believe it exists. Even if List of state leaders who had pet cats was in some way a reasonably notable and coherent list that it would make sense, the POV-pushing term dictator kills any chance of this being a workable list at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, article obviously created by a dog owner, seriously, does not meet WP:LISTN, no citations found that discuss this (there are a number of sources discussing dictator pets in general but not specifically cats). Coolabahapple (talk) 05:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:V, as well as being a POV magnet. Though I do think it's a notable topic, however, because heads of state are inherently notable, I think List of state leaders who had pet cats covers this topic nicely. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 00:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not an encyclopedic topic. The term "dictator" is imprecise, at best. The rest is trivia. Carrite (talk) 18:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- non encyclopedic topic and trivia. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:45, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per WP:LISTCRUFT. Lack of information and sources. Ajf773 (talk) 00:56, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
