It's cute to have a bunch of articles on exploding animals, but this one shouldn't be one of them. That it was a donkey (or mule) to deliver a bomb in one or more cases does not make the subject "exploding donkey (or mule)" notable, and the complete lack of sources doesn't help. Note to possible exploding-donkey (or mule) rescuer: adding newspaper articles that mention that a donkey blew up a checkpoint does not help: we need solid sources that provide in-depth discussion of the donkey (or mule) as a bomb-delivery mechanism, including analysis of its history, the culture of training donkeys (or mules) for explosive purposes, the bond between handler and donkey (or mule), and yes, a controversy section.

- Merge with Exploding animal as it would be redundant otherwise.--WngLdr34 (talk) 18:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Merge as described. Seems like a logical choice for an article with a few marginal hits in reliable sources, but not enough to sustain an article on its own. See also the AFD from today on Exploding sheep. --Jayron32 19:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
