Delete This article was created by User:Plong26, who is an obvious sockpuppet of User:Thomasfan5034. (See Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Thomasfan5034 ). As indicated by the nom, it duplicates an existing article. Well, not quite. It's almost devoid of content and is unreferenced now that the page creator has split out an episode list article that contained the only reference. --AussieLegend (✉) 10:58, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reading the first sentence of the article at Thomas & Friends shows that the supposed duplicate is on "a British children's television series." The place for this discussion is on the talk page of the article. Unscintillating (talk) 16:27, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's misleading because further in that article it talks about it being in the US. I removed the part about the a British show, it is aired in both countries. There is no need to have a duplicate article on the same show. If you look in the history the only text that had previously been in the article that wasn't the episode listing was a copyright vio from PBS. As it is the article creator was a sockpuppet now blocked indef. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:39, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
