This article was tagged for notability last month. I have had a good dig round for sources, but I can't find anything that talks about The Colonel beyond just a passing reference when talking about Graham Chapman. Because the title needs to be disambiguated, I can't consider a redirect to that article. At best, I could hope for a footnote in Colonel (disambiguation). Even so, it means we can't have an article here. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:18, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- Comment could merge to List of recurring Monty Python's Flying Circus characters#The Colonel which already discusses the character. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:36, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

- Question. I don't understand why there would be a disambiguation problem; if we merge this as Colapeninsula suggests, can't we just change the target of the existing disambiguation at The Colonel?--Arxiloxos (talk) 13:57, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
- That's not an issue, but you would then not merge anything, and my choice would not be to leave "The Colonel (Monty Python)" as a redirect term, which leaves "delete" as the only remaining option. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:06, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep, subject to probable merge. The Colonel is a iconic Python character, and certainly sources exist that discuss the character in those terms. I've added a few.[1][2][3] Having said that, I think merge/redirect is fine, unless and until there's too much material to fit in the list. I can't agree that the redirect should to be deleted: this item is already listed on the appropriate disambiguation page, and per WP:CHEAP I don't think there's any need to get rid of it. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:01, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
