The result was Redirect. It's a plausible search term, so I redirected it to C.O.P.S._(animated_TV_series)#Minor_supporting_characters. Any content that is actually verified can be pulled from the page history and merged. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A minor character without any reliable third person sources or notability it should be merged or deleted

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

merge adequately the information is verifiable, being based as it should be on the fiction itself, & is therefore not Original Research. DGG ( talk ) 06:35, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If no secondary sources whatsoever exist on a topic, there is nothing to merge. Abductive (reasoning) 07:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No reliable sources found to establish the notability of a one-episode character. Entirely in-universe plot coverage violates what Wikipedia is not. The character is already adequately mentioned in the episode summary at the list of C.O.P.S. episodes. Sarilox (talk) 17:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Other minor characters in the same series currently up for AfD are Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mickey O'Malley, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Bugman and Gaylord, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Captain Crimefighter - people might wish to consider all four at the same time. -- Boing! said Zebedee 02:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to C.O.P.S. (or Delete, if it is true he appeared in only one episode). I prodded this a while back. Abductive (reasoning) 08:22, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and continue to improve or merge and redirect to C.O.P.S.#Characters_in_the_series, which could benefit from a sentence from this article that sums up the character per WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE. No reason nor need exists for removing the article's edit history when content from it actually could benefit the main article. Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 16:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete in accordance with WP:CSD#A7. No evidence of notability and no sources to support such a claim. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 11:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
