List of Futurama animals[edit]

Simply listcruft in my opinion. A few animals being in a popular cartoon doesn't seem like enough to justify a list. RobJ1981 23:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a list of every animal, real or imagined, mentioned in a long-running TV series? I'm sorry, but that's not an encyclopedic topic. Why not List of Simpsons animals? I hear the Fantastipotamus is sorely lacking an entry. --Haemo 23:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - there is a list of animals in The Simpsons. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 18:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nice gif of the Hypnotoad though. Saikokira 04:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Given that most of these animals are unique characters, better this than them having their own pages. Many other fictions have recently moved to include all minor characters in a single page, why not futurama? --Jimmi Hugh 15:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The list has some room for expansion and cleanup but by all means not a reason to delete it. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable as a group, good place to put them. - Peregrine Fisher 22:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per The Simpsons precedent, wherein the Fantastipotamus is accorded 46 words in fact. Futurama is not a long-running series (72 episodes), though The Simpsons is and has not been thusly affected. This grew out of a list of minor characters, which is standard. Many articles are not notable themselves; they are spun out of very notable articles to reuce page size. ~ Switch (✉✍☺) 23:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep like Switch said these are the items that don't fall into the other Futurama lists. Most of them (after I trimmed it) were featured strongly in at least one episode and some of them multiple times. The article was never meant to be "every animal mentioned" in the series, I guess it needs a more precise lead. Stardust8212 17:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
