Arnold the Pit Bull[edit]
- Arnold the Pit Bull (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This character does not establish notability independent of Tiny Toon Adventures through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so the section in the main article is enough. TTN (talk) 18:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, and you're wrong for the following reason;
Arnold is one of the few characters on "Tiny Toons" not directly modeled after another existing Warner Brothers character. Arnold was named after Arnold Schwarzenegger and speaks like him as well, whom was at the height of his popularity as an actor at the time.
- Simply put, he's an exception to the rule on that series. ----DanTD (talk) 06:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Tiny Toon Adventures. McWomble (talk) 07:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Delete or Merge per McWomble. So he's a recurring bit character whose gimmick is being an Arnold Schwarzenegger pastiche? That actually makes him less notable than the main cast. At least I actually remember who Fifi was. Jonny2x4 (talk) 04:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Create a list of characters and merge there. Don't merge to the main article on the show. Everyking (talk) 08:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not a notable character at all. Just a gag. JuJube (talk) 09:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per Everyking. I didn't even know the character even had a name. No evidence that he demonstrates notability beyond the work of fiction in 3rd party sources. Likewise with quite a few of the other Tiny Toons characters with their own articles. -Verdatum (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
