::In the case of the Springfield cats, I suspect that there will soon be plenty of sources that will explicitly call it a “hoax” (if they don’t do so already), so I am not really worried about that specific article.
::The important thing for me is that our policy and guideline pages support each other, and not conflict. Since multiple P&G pages say we should defer to sources, I am reluctant to have this page not say the same. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 22:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
:::100% agreed on this point. Wherever there is doubt about what to call something, we always look to and follow the sources. I don't see anyone arguing that we should amend the guideline to say anything different. My point is simply that following the sources may involve summarizing or paraphrasing when the terms they use are too clunky for an article title. [[WP:CONCISE]], after all, is policy too.

:It should also be noted that some sources do use "hoax" explicitly, e.g. [https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-harris-debate-ohio-eating-dogs-hoax.html][https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/the-debrief/3152908/debrief-conn-carroll-hoax-immigrants-eating-pets-obscured-point-immigration/][https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/12/trump-immigration-border-dogs-geese-00179017].

::Then we can follow the sources. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 22:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
