Pages for deletion (PfD) is where editors discuss whether a page should be deleted. Articles listed are normally discussed for at least five days after which the deletion process proceeds based on community consensus. Then the page may be kept, merged or redirected, moved to another title or deleted.

Creating an PfD discussion

If you want to create a deletion discussion simply list in the nominations section:

Also do not forget to mark the page to be deleted with {{Delete}} on the top.

Nominations

Goku, Neytiri and Raphael (Future Cop!)

Not article-worthy. They have no dialogue and only the one appearance of background characters costumed as them for the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con in Future Cop!. Also, the person tagged as Raphael looks like the Hulk, not a ninja turtle. -- Mythigator (talk) 18:35, October 7, 2018 (EDT)

Disagree, they are fine according to the notability policy. The Solar Dragon 05:33, October 8, 2018 (EDT)

Oh, and Raphael is sort of behind the Hulk, mostly obscured by The Flash. The Solar Dragon 05:33, October 8, 2018 (EDT)

Disagree with the disagreement. See the "Crossovers" section of the policy. I don't see how they qualify as notable under any of the other line items. I see what you're talking about with Raphael, but he's still in the background. -- Mythigator (talk) 20:58, October 8, 2018 (EDT)

Sorry about being snippy, Solar. Yesterday was a rough day at work; today was a good deal better. I'm still not sure how those articles meet the notability guidelines, but it occurs to me that keeping them around can actually do the wiki a good turn. For instance, some overly loquacious Highlander might use them as a springboard for building a cultural reference article or two. :-) Mythigator (talk) 21:11, October 9, 2018 (EDT)

Withdrawing the nominations. I found another Neytiri appearance without even looking all that hard. -- Mythigator (talk) 23:18, October 9, 2018 (EDT)

David (Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind)

This is actually David Hasselhoff. When Bart zaps him from Kang and Kodos's ship, he's singing "Hooked on a Feeling", a pop tune from the '70s which Hasselhoff covered in 1997 for his album "Hooked on a Feeling". -- Mythigator (talk) 23:43, November 10, 2018 (EST)

Needs to be merged rather than deleted, but agree. The Solar Dragon 07:56, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

Merged the info into the David Hasselhoff article and redirected David (Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind). -- Mythigator (talk) 12:42, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

When Pets Go Postal

Dubious notability, only mentioned in passing in one panel of a comic story. The article When Cartoon Animals Attack Other Cartoon Animals was previously deleted for non-notability, and it too is only mentioned in passing in one panel of a comic story. They're either both notable or both not notable; it doesn't make sense for one to be notable and the other not. We should either delete When Pets Go Postal or reinstate When Cartoon Animals Attack Other Cartoon Animals. -- Mythigator (talk) 01:06, April 26, 2019 (EDT)

Agree, not notable. The Solar Dragon 07:56, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

Deleted as discussed. -- Mythigator (talk) 13:42, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

KBBL Radio

It is same as KBBL. --2F13 (talk) 07:30, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

KBBL Radio is for the location, KBBL is for the radio station itself. Same reason we have Channel 6 and Channel 6 Studios. The Solar Dragon 07:56, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

Agree, the article should stay. But it would be a good idea to make sure the two articles show a distinction in content for the radio station vs. the location. -- Mythigator (talk) 13:42, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

World's Zaniest Police Chases

Same issue as When Pets Go Postal: only mentioned in passing in one panel of a comic story. It would merit a mention in a References article for America's Funniest Home Videos (there seems to be more than enough material for one), but doesn't merit its own article. -- Mythigator (talk) 13:42, May 4, 2019 (EDT)

World's Funniest Surveillance Videos

Contrary to what the article says, it's only mentioned in passing. The people involved don't work specifically for that show; they work at Fox sorting video tapes, apparently intended for multiple shows, one of which is World's Funniest Surveillance Videos. As with Zaniest Police Chases, it would merit a mention in an AFV references article, but that would be all. -- Mythigator (talk) 13:42, May 4, 2019 (EDT)
