Comment: The station seems to have a page, so could this be merged into that article? There is some coverage of the cat, so it would probably be worth a mention on that article- especially since they actually have the cat listed on their staff page. I'm thinking that a 1-2 sentence summary in the article's history section would suffice. Something along the lines of "In 1996 the station adopted an orange tabby cat that had wandered onto the set. The cat, which was named 'Doppler The Weathercat' by station viewers, served as mascot for WSTM-TV's meteorology department until his retirement from television on September 12, 2013." That's short, to the point, and sums up everything that we particularly need to know about the feline. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Someone already added Doppler T. Weathercat to the WSTM-TV news team, so that's taken care of. Like the others, I don't think this cat is notable enough for its own article. It's not my hometown, but it's still a bit weird to see local Syracuse "celebrities" brought up on Wikipedia. What's next, a famous dog in Poughkeepsie?
