Fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for fictional characters. Neelix (talk) 16:17, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Captain Square probably isn't a significant enough character for his own article. I'm therefore going to merge some of the content to the list of DA characters and put this as a redirect. Neelix - before nominating any other Dad's Army character articles, can you drop me a note of any concerns beforehand, please? I know they're not great, but I'd prefer to merge them rather than going through the whole deletion process. Bob talk 15:22, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I have now merged the useful, non-duplicated content from the page (one sentence) and redirected it to List of Dad's Army episodes. Bob talk 15:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let's wait to see how the discussion goes before merging. PatGallacher (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the case, redirect to ~~List of Dad's Army episodes~~ List of Dad's Army characters - the useful content has already been merged, and a redirect will avoid the redlinks that deleting the page will create (and preserve the page should somebody want to come along and reference it at some point).

I take it you mean List of Dad's Army characters. PatGallacher (talk) 19:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, haha, yeah. Bob talk 20:34, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to character list per Bob Castle and WP:BEFORE, which means a net redirect since the content has already been selectively merged. I suggest closing this AfD as moot. Jclemens (talk) 05:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the relevant section of the character list. Someone another 06:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
