Discord, as with the rest of the MLP:FiM cast isn't notable enough to be split into his own article. Sorry, John de Lancie. Intelligent Deathclaw (talk) 11:47, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Delete what can be to List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters. While there seem to be a lot of sources, and several that I know are reliable and used on the other pages about the show, the bulk here about the character are from weakly reliable sites, particularly in the reception section. Most of the details (eg regarding De Lancie and the fandom) are well-established elsewhere. --MASEM (t) 14:14, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Delete The sources are just terrible so it needs to be deleted. Besides we all run into this a long time ago with the other ponies having their own entries.--BlackGaia02 (talkpage if you dare) (talk) 15:38, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to the characters list per nom. "merge and delete" is not an option since it would wipe out the edit history. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:37, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
delete the only third party sourcing is trivial mentions or not even actually about the character, but about the actions of the actor voicing the character. If there is anything properly sourced thats actually salvageable, it can be merged elsewhere if its not already covered in the appropriate target article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect, I know when an argument is futile, consensus is quite clear and any rebuttal from me at this point wouldn't do anything. Oh well; let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...! --Yellow1996 (talk) 23:23, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to the character list per above. Ansh666 00:35, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect, in agreement with the requesting user. Also, I thought that was Jason Marsden who was the voice of Discord Mewtwowimmer (talk) 02:39, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just wondering: Why did you think Max Goof voiced Discord? dogman15 (talk) 03:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Here ya go. Ansh666 03:22, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, I use BTVA a lot. dogman15 (talk) 05:14, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - I can tell That was pointed at Mewtwowimmer. Ansh666 06:25, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect. When it comes to the MLPFIM Wikia over here, notability is whether the character influences the plotline of some episode in some way. Translating this into Wikipedia terms, notability is whether the character managed to influence something outside the show and its related paraphernalia, in this case the bronybase. Only Fools and Horses serves as an example: the characters have their own articles because they had catchphrases that weaved themselves into British culture, even the OED. As for them ponies? Not a bit yet. Having worked in the bronybase for quite a while as a vector artist, I have found out that the fandom is very self-contained, very self-sustaining.^{Though I do some non-pony stuff now and then and it gets popular on dA too.} In short, my hooves are down.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Merge and redirect. I don't usually support getting rid of pages, but at least redirecting will preserve the edit history of this page. I do hope that some day, an MLPFiM character can keep an article on Wikipedia. dogman15 (talk) 03:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
