Thumper (Bambi)[edit]

Thumper (Bambi) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Unnotable fictional character. Fails WP:N, WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, WP:WAF. Thumper's role in each film is already well covered by the individual film articles. This just repeats the plots of both, with the focus on Thumper and some OR thrown in. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please provide evidence showing his notability, namely significant, third-party coverage. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 06:49, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notable character but I can see that it does require citations and references. --Pmedema (talk) 07:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, as the article does not support this claim, please provide actual evidence of notability. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 07:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mentioned in [1], has own book [2], is a collectable [3], is refered to in real life [4], has a Beanie version [5], has clothes [6] [7], has a watch [8], etc...etc... --Pmedema (talk) 08:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: clearly notable - see e.g. [9], [10], [11], [12], etc. Oh, and has also been featured on a US stamp: [13]. I agree that the article could do with being rewritten to focus more on the character's cultural impact, rather than just on regurgitating the plots of the films, but this isn't cause for deletion.

  • Keep How many rabbits get to appear on a stamp? Nick mallory (talk) 12:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yes, it does need improving, but really, if you want to nominate non-notable fictional characters, I'd suggest that you start with this lot or perhaps with this little lot, rather than with this one, which is one of the rare characters that even has real-world notability!.

  • Keep I'm seeing lots of references here noted above. Plus, you can figure in that the names were spoofed in Diamonds Are Forever (film)...--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The references are showing that he is indeed notable, but the article could really use reworking - no reason to delete though. Sonuvafitch (talk) 16:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep Frivolous nomination which does not comply with WP:BEFORE. Happily, Thumper likes to play in the snow. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep. Very notable film character. 23skidoo (talk) 18:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
