Platypus Brothers

Non-notable characters, absolutely no secondary sources, written in-universe with OR aplenty. Nothing worth redirecting or merging. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless reliable third party sources are provided. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 02:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Taz-Mania as rds are cheap so it is indeed worth doing so; merge anything of value. JJL (talk) 04:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge including a good deal of the content. They seem to play a role in the story. 3rd party sources are not necessary to verify merged fictional description. Not in universe, by the way, since it says it's a cartoon. DGG (talk) 04:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Partial merge and redirect. They're not just some background characters. They actually did play a pretty large role in the show. It's clearly not in universe. It describes a fictional character, but it's all from a out of universe perspective, there's a clear difference. On the flipside answering DGG, at the very very least we need a source that confirms they were actually in the show. And if we want to reference any episodes they need to be available on DVD, otherwise the reader cannot possibly verify the information. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- They don't necessarily need to be available on DVD in order to verify... these episodes are available on AOL's In2TV and are supposed to be airing on Boomerang this year. DHowell (talk)
