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.

Schroeder-like boy

Unnamed, non-speaking character. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:35, 4 February 2013 (EST)

Keep, although it's a non-speaking character, it has a characteristic that distinguish it from others! --Notfut 14:50, 4 February 2013 (EST)Notfut

But it's against our notability policy. Therefore policy dictates that it should be deleted. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:05, 4 February 2013 (EST)

It looks so much like Schroeder, you may as well call him that. :P Delete, I guess, though you could keep the image for the episode's references tab or something. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 23:46, 4 February 2013 (EST)

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. -- Mythigator 13:23, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Guy Fawkes

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. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 06:07, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Agree. Out of curiosity, though, why did you put it as Guy Fawkes? --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:59, 16 February 2013 (EST)

Frederick listed him as that in the Appearances page. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 12:22, 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. -- 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 for knowing a lot of references. :D --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 16:50, 16 February 2013 (EST)
