The result was merge to Hacker Time. If a more appropriate merge target can be located, that would be a reasonable alternative to the suggested target -- RoySmith (talk) 20:45, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify the above, the key point of the consensus was that the subject is not sufficiently notable to require a stand-alone article. A better way to state things would have been, Merge any appropriate content into Hacker Time and redirect there. If it turns out that there really isn't anything worth merging (as determined by an editor who is familiar with the subject area), then just turning this into a redirect would certainly meet the spirit of the consensus. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:44, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't tell whether this is an actual real life person or some fictional character thing, and regardless there aren't any decent references. Barney the barney barney (talk) 17:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Looks like an obscure puppet from a BBC TV show, but I'm not quite sure. I can't find any reliable sources about it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:11, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or possibly merge - on first glance, with a dob and details of a family, I thought it was a typo and supposed to say "puppeteer", not puppet -so it needs at the very least rewriting for clarity. From what I can gather from a bit of googling, its a puppet character used on the children's CBBC channel. However, it seems to be one of the background/extra characters only popping up now and again. I doubt it is notable enough for an article of its own, and I may be difficult to find reliable sources - all I can find is passing mentions.

However, there may be an argument for the article to be merged with the main TV show's article: Hacker Time; or with the article of his puppeteer (if it can be found out who they are, and if they have an article). This would echo another of that TV's show's puppets, Dodge T. Dog, who has a section on his puppeteer's article. --Rushton2010 (talk) 17:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
