Unremarkable comic strip character. No claims of significance or notability outside the magazine. Tried redirecting to The Dandy, but another editor reverted. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:50, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Character and comic strip definetly notable as it is a long running comic strip which started in 1960 and has been revived a number of times most recently in 2011. The character is one of the comic's most popular characters and has had whole comics devoted to him such as the 82nd issue of Dandy Comic Libraries. Cover is here [[1]]. Also a number of less notable comic strips already have articles and if this one were to be deleted it wouldn't be good for the coverage of British Comics, such as The Dandy from which this character and comic strip originates, on Wikipedia.

Keep Google books turns up coverage in various books. AllyD (talk) 17:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as noted above, this is a long running strip, in the oldest surviving British comic. I agree with Eopsid's opinion. Digifiend (talk) 17:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Was going to do a speedy delete on G13 (incorrect use of an apostrophe in a possessive pronoun), but I decided to correct that instead. Seriously .... notable things stay notable on Wikipedia after they've faded from public memory. If Dennis the Menace was axed, we wouldn't delete the article ten years later, and I don't see why this should be any different. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 08:07, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I thought i was doing good by creating this article, then some big bully came over and bulldozed it. Now you turncoats want to keep it, and that's why i vandalised it. Oh, by the way, i'm Oliver Forde of yahoo answers, so if you've heard of me, be afraid, be very afraid! Beandand (talk) 17:20, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because i like to see people talking about comic strips, i love the beano and the dandy! Beandand (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think we can safely ignore the above indecisive troll called Beandand. Seriously, why vote to delete your own page? Crazy! Digifiend (talk) 15:29, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a long running strip. If we're going to prune the far excessive number of very minor Beano & Dandy strip articles (and about time too), then this isn't the one to start with. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:02, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
