not enough secondary sources to write an article and subject is not notable Jeremiah (talk) 21:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no reliable sources covering the subject, and the article itself describes him as "up and coming" - no objection to recreation when he actually arrives -- Whpq (talk) 17:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejuddice, as there is "amost" enough out there. As a lab rat, he just squeeks under the notability radar. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Struck my delete per subject's comment. Knowing that this is a major series character named "Lab Rat" and not simply a lab rat, I may be able to find a notability. I can do a wider search based upon this new information. I'll be back. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:48, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Impartial - Likely leaning towards delete. Even though I am this person, I do not consider my work very noteworthy at this point in time, nor did I create or particularly care for the article carrying my name. Though in consideration of its deletion, it should be noted that "Lab Rat" is not a minor role, but the actual name of a lead character appearing in every episode. -M.Christian 99.240.96.229 (talk) 12:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I said it is a very close thing. If you give your management a boot in the backside they should be able to spin that "up and coming" into a "arrived and cheering". Can you point the direction to any articles about "Lab Rat" as a character. As a name, it is such a generic term that searches bring thousands of non-related hits. Damn near impossible. I'm willing to work on improving the article and establishing notability, one actor to another, as I have been learning what Wiki expects from an article.

Delete notability not yet established. --Dreamspy (talk) 19:45, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and set Redirect to Grossology. There is already a section there on the actors and the characters each plays. A merge saves this information, and improves Wiki. If/when Mr. Heywood reaches a Wiki-level of notability, the information can be extracted and this article might be re-created. In the meantime, folks looking for the actor information for Paul "Lab Rat" Squirfenherder, can find it right where they might expect it to be.

- Merge I agree with this proposal. Jeremiah (talk) 21:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment with a nod toward M. Christian: I did spend some time searching and sourcing to source the facts of the article. I was even able to find his character's full series name and searched and sourced that as well. I think he is most definitely an "up and comer" and that the article on him will be back with a smile. Don't be disheartened. Keep on doing what you do. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
