Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of other Happy Tree Friends characters

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge, as the consensus seems to be towards merge. However, there seems to be no exact consensus to how the merge is done, so if you have anything you want to try, I'd say go for it. Choose to salvage anything you like or nothing at all for merge, transwiki, etc. whatever, it will be in the history, but I'd say at least redirect to some article first.

List of other Happy Tree Friends characters[edit]

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Buddhist Monkey (second nomination). While the Happy Tree Friends series as a whole is notable, I really don't see any evidence of the same being true for individual characters. These articles have zero third-party references (all but two have no references at all), and are largely original research on the characters' motivations and characterizations combined with overly-detailed plot summaries. It is my belief that these articles are unsalvageable as Wikipedia articles under our policies. Powers ^T 19:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is there an existing list of characters that all of these could be merged into? Obviously not all of the information, but at the very least the character name and the episode appearances. LaMenta3 (talk) 20:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking at the history, the List of other Happy Tree Friends characters article was originally List of Happy Tree Friends characters. In September, characters listed above were split out into separate articles, although I don't know if there was any specific consensus for that. In October, the article was renamed to reflect the new focus. Powers ^T 21:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge All into either a new List of Happy Tree Friends characters or into List of other Happy Tree Friends characters, which can then be moved to the appropriate article title. There was never a consensus to split the article anywhere on the talk page. Doc Strange (talk) 21:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what there is to merge; it's all unreferenced plot summary and original research, isn't it? Powers ^T 21:21, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Lists don't usually have the plot summary stuff anyway. Just the characters' names and perhaps a very small other bit of information. So that can be done away with. LaMenta3 (talk) 17:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's not really a merge, then, is it? We agree that the content currently in these article should be deleted, right? Powers ^T 00:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a combination article If lists do have plot summary, then they are inappropriate, if they dont, they have no content. or so goes the argument that does not think that characters are as significant as plot in fictional works.DGG (talk) 00:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete All as these articles have no primary or secondary sources and are comprised of in universe plot summaries, failing WP:V, WP:FICT, WP:WAF and WP:NOT. These articles are better transwikied to the Annex, as they fall outside the scope of Wikipedia.--Gavin Collins (talk) 13:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge em SGGH ^speak! 11:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to the list of characters for the series. I haven't seen any good reason to have separate articles for each character. Tuvok[^T@lk/_Improve] 12:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove, unsure about whether to merge or redirect or what have you but as it stands this name is a bit silly...It should at least be minor characters no?--Him and a dog 14:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, if every South Park character gets an episode, and a list of culturally "significant" (Yeah right :P) phrases from The Simpsons does, to, each Happy Tree Friends character deserves the honour (note the "u"). 75.157.191.45 (talk) 05:41, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
