I agree that the article should be deleted. However, I suspect that there have been enough ''Peanuts'' references on the show to justify a ''Peanuts'' references article. If that is indeed the case, then the Schroeder look-a-like should definitely be included in it. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 13:23, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Delete tag was placed on the page because he looks more like Shakespeare. On further inspection, I agree with this. The skull is also probably a reference to Shakespeare. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span> <span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:gold">Talk</span>]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])</sup></span>☆ 06:07, 16 February 2013 (EST)

It's Shakespeare for sure ...
 
#They've got a literary theme going with the characters making cameos ... Snape, Sherlock and Winston Churchill (who was an accomplished author in addition to serving as Prime Minister). Shakespeare fits right in with that theme, where Fawkes doesn't.
 
#The skull is a reference to the "Alas, poor Yorick" scene from ''Hamlet'', which is one of the best-known (but also, alas, most often misquoted) scenes from Shakespeare's plays.
 
#The plotline of ''Love Actually'' (which ''Love, Indubitably'' parodies) comes off like one of Shakespeare's romantic comedies, which have the recurring motif of everyone getting paired off in the end. (If they were getting blown up, you could make a case for the man being Fawkes. :-P)
 
Plus, as Solar said, the man looks a lot more like Shakespeare than he does Fawkes. The Fawkes article should be deleted and its information incorporated (where appropriate) into the [[William Shakespeare]] article. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 13:18, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Eh... Oops. Sorry, I can't really tell the difference in cartoon form. I got [[Winston Churchill]] and [[Alfred Hitchcock]] mixed up as well, because I am bloody hopeless. Also, thank you to Mythigator knowing a lot about references. :D --[[User:Frederick|<big><font color="purple">Fred</font></big>]] (<small>[[User talk:Frederick|<font color="green">Talk</font>]]</small> '''•''' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Frederick|<font color="red">Contribs.</font>]]</small> '''•''' <small>[[Special:Editcount/Frederick|<font color="orange">Editcount</font>]]</small>) 16:50, 16 February 2013 (EST)

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.
