Wikisimpsons:Pages for deletion

Archives: 1, 2

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.

Max Klinger

He's just mentioned in passing in one line of one episode. Doesn't seem epescially notable to me. The Klinger line certainly deserves a mention in the episode's References tab, but a character article? I don't think so. -- Mythigator 20:49, 11 November 2012 (EST)

I always disagree with articles like this so I agree with the deletion. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 02:26, 12 November 2012 (EST)

Keep, he is mentioned./AleWi 05:47, 12 November 2012 (EST)

He is ONLY mentioned. Not worth keeping. -- Mythigator 09:38, 12 November 2012 (EST)

Wikisimpsons:Notability - (Named mentioned characters should have an article.) /AleWi 09:55, 12 November 2012 (EST)

I want to get rid of that part of the policy though and all mentioned only characters should only have an article if a large emphasis is put on them. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 12:28, 12 November 2012 (EST)

Disagree. He goes with the policy, which I have no issues with. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:06, 14 November 2012 (EST)

I have opened up a discussion about changing the policy. I would like it if everyone would read what I have to say first before adding to the discussion in case it changes your mind. It's here. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 16:53, 15 November 2012 (EST)

Mary Lou Retton

Same reason as Max Klinger. -- Mythigator 15:34, 12 November 2012 (EST)

Keep, this is a Simpsons wiki. /AleWi 10:58, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Arnold Horshack

Same reason as Klinger and Mary Lou. There's no in-universe information about him except the one in-passing mention. A Wikipedia link (most likely just to Welcome Back, Kotter) would be fine; there's no need for him to have his own article here. -- Mythigator 03:57, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Keep, people in the series should have an article even if they is one in-passing mention. /AleWi

• Note - I think it would make sense to postpone those three PFDs until the notability changes are discussed at that blog. -- cjc 11:44, 20 November 2012 (EST)

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff

I just don't think that this is notable enough for an article. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:29, 27 November 2012 (EST)

Agree. There's also not really much that could be done to expand the article. It could just as easily be a section in the Duff Beer article. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 19:20, 27 November 2012 (EST)

Unnotable. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:38, 28 November 2012 (EST)

Klinger, Horshack and Mary Lou

Considering the outcome of our recent discussion about the notability policy, I'm willing to back off on these three deletion proposals. I think that in order to give these articles a little more notability, it would be worth adding a real-life tidbit or two (most likely under "Behind the Laughter") to explain why they're notable or famous (similar to the J. P. Patches article). At least we'll end up with articles that aren't quite so "stubbish". I'm willing to take on the job of fleshing out this particular trio of articles, and any similar ones I notice. Is that OK by everyone? -- Mythigator 08:55, 30 November 2012 (EST)

I'm totally fine with it. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:37, 30 November 2012 (EST)
