Keep/merge The nomination states that content has been merged and so deletion is not appropriate -- see
WP:MAD. The page as it stands seems quite interesting and there seems to be more coverage out there such as
this.

I think I understand Normal Op just fine. They have merged content from the page in question and so deletion is inappropriate. Whether further merger is to be done, is not the issue.

My position is unchanged. The title "street dogs in Chennai" is quite clear and helpful when searching for information about this issue. The title "Blue Cross of India" is not so helpful because you have to be already familiar with this organisation and its title to understand its relevance. Deletion of the street dog title, turning it into a red link would therefore be unhelpful to our readership and so should not be done. Deletion of the page's edit history would likewise be unhelpful to people wanting to follow the history of our coverage.

Delete: If all the useful content is already in other articles, then there is no purpose to keeping this one. Nor is it a useful redirect target: someone typing in "Street dogs ..." will already find the main article, first.

Delete. If you have visited or lived in India then you will know that every Zilla Parishad, Palli, village and township has its collection of street dogs, many of which are infirm, some of which have their vulva's hanging out and the list could go on. Chennai is no different to Bengaluru, Hosket, Kodaikanal, Old Delhi, Simla, Jaipur, Lucknow, and places like this. The OpEd referred to above fairly much forms the substance of paraphrasing for this article. Article really has no notability. Cows, and what corporations are doing for cows, yes. Street dogs, no.

Delete The useful content of this article is already in other ones and people can find it by doing a search. So, this is useless fork. Plus, as the voter above me says, there's nothing particularly special about street dogs in this location compared to other places in India and it would be weird to have a "street dogs of whatever" article for every place in India. --
