Bionic Bunny

Simply being a character on Arthur does not confer notability, regardless of the prevalence of this character on the show. The show is notability, every character and plot device is not. Delete or Merge to Arthur (cartoon). -Soltak 19:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, prevalent character on major network show. Kappa 19:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I haven't watched the show in years but I know that Bionic Bunny isn't "prevalent." I also know that PBS, while extremely important, isn't a "major network." -Soltak 19:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry I misunderstood. Anyway keep, useful information for fans of the show. Kappa 19:45, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Hey, I think this could be expanded. Keep. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Arthur. Even one of the most-well-known characters in the show, Buster Baxter, redirects to the article. — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:12, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Arthur. Being the father of two young children I've seen this show a lot. Al 20:20, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect and Merge to Arthur (cartoon). Bionic Bunny is a pretty small part of the show, and he should have an overview there like the other characters. Eventually, the cast list and episode list could split off of the main article, but a character like Bionic Bunny doesn't deserve his own page, and we could merge this without losing any content.-LtNOWIS 20:32, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Change vote to Keep, since article has been expanded.-LtNOWIS 20:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or at the very least don't redirect to the cartoon. Bionic Bunny is also a character in the books, and even has his own spin-off (The Bionic Bunny Show, ISBN 0316109924) which predates the Arthur cartoon show by more than a decade. The Bionic Bunny Show was also made into an episode of Reading Rainbow. BB also has merchandise, such as a doll, and scores decently on Google (16,800 Google hits). Redirecting Bionic Bunny to the Arthur TV show would be like redirecting Bugs Bunny to Space Jam. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:50, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • If the article is expanded to reflect how prevalent the Bionic Bunny character actually is I'll be happy to withdraw my vfd request. As the article currently stands, I wouldn't have known any of that about the books (and didn't!) without you saying something. -Soltak 21:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • You have a very good point there, my friend. I'll expand it now. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:30, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This is an insignificant subject, but compared to some other things we keep, this isn't that bad. BB definently a recurring character in the Arthurverse. ike9898 21:04, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Andrew Lenahan CanadianCaesar 22:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Almafeta 22:15, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Request Withdrawn following large-scale expansion by Starblind. Great job on the expansion, by the way :-) -Soltak 22:21, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Thank you. It's a solid 12 paragraphs now. No hard feelings, of course, since the previous stub was mighty slim, and I fully understand why someone might nominate it for VfD. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:01, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, if it's necessary... Wow. Starblind, this is one of the reasons Wikipedia is great. Almafeta 21:27, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
