This guideline is intended to be a benchmark for WikiProject Poultry to use for deciding notability for poultry breeds, and for other editors unfamiliar with the subject area to consult as the collected advice of more experienced editors on the subject. Given not all poultry species possess breeds, this guideline concerns primarily ducks, geese, turkeys and chickens. It is important to note this guideline does not concern species, such as the many species of quail. A breed is defined by the the Oxford Dictionary as a group of animals with a distinctive appearance, often bred via deliberate selection.[1]
