• Redirect to Steve Irwin. -- I@n 08:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and Redirect to Steve Irwin. -- I@n 00:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- I@n 08:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• The Bindi Irwin page should be preserved because she is a very famous child star who has been in countless television documentaries, a film and even hosted her own american series. Her name should not be redirected by ignorant idiots. Croclover 23:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• I have repoened this discussion that was closed by User:Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh because the redirect is not unopposed. Gazpacho 00:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to Steve Irwin, precedent set at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suri Cruise, etc. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 00:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• The speedy close was entirely appropriate. Delete and Redirect, she is not notable. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect. IMDb does not mention her hosting her own program which would make her notable enough. Capitalistroadster 02:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• The program for her was only ever being planned, and was not certain. --bainer (talk) 02:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Steve Irwin. It is common practice to redirect articles on celebrities' children to their parents. Bindi Irwin's involvement in her parents' work is worthy of discussion, but would only really be appropriate in the context of her parents' articles. --bainer (talk) 02:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect as above Bwithh 02:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per above for now. If she becomes a celebrity in her own right, separate from her father's fame (which is probably more likely now, after the recent tragedy), consideration should be given to creating a separate article. JDoorjam Talk 04:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect -M^ask 04:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect _Doctor Bruno_^_Talk_/_{E Mail} 08:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and redirect. Any information that could/should be merged into Steve Irwin is already in there. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect (do not delete first). The info that is there, might be merged in from this article. It doesn't hurt to comply with the GFDL and save the edit history just in case. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect: as above. --Ragib 19:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Steve Irwin.--cj | talk 08:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect -- to one of her parents, erring towards her father. -- Longhair 08:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep - I feel she is considerably more notable than the precedents given (Suri Cruise, Sean Federline, Scout Willis, etc). Consider several news articles and an entry at IMDb: [1], [2] [3] --ryan-d 12:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep - The Bindi Show is definitely going ahead. Her manager John Stainton has affirmed this. That makes her notable.“Bindi's new TV show is going to premiere next January throughout America and the world...." http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,20351375-5005961,00.html Need further proof? Sunday's Courier Mail spells it out for you. Mantle passes to Bindi http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,20377536-952,00.html She is the next Crocodile Hunter. I believe this blows negative arguments out of the water. Comparing her to babies like Suri Cruise who can't even talk yet are simply "childish". Croclover 23:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

  Confessed linkspammer/sockpuppet comments struck out. -- I@n 01:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

  The issue with those links is that it fails WP:NOT as crystal ballery. when her show goes on, that will be a different story, as of now, she has no show and is not notable. -M^ask 23:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Her father's notoriety has given her notability. -- Voldemort 07:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Thats a perfect argument for redirect. She's notable soly for her father. According to this user. -M^ask 23:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. She is notable enough as she is, and getting more and more attention every day. She's listed as support crew and have her own pages at crocodilehunter.com, she's been on several other TV series and Stevo was actually filming stuff for her series when he died, And she wasn't born onto TV, she was born on TV, since Stevo decided to bring the entire crew along (met by Terry's "you didn't think you could find any more people to bring in here?"). So she isn't just known for being Stevo's daughter, she's known for being Bindi Irwin. Hdw 01:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep She is noteable enough anyway (though barely) and Steve just boosts that. - Blood red sandman 21:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• PLEASE KEEP She was just set to create her own wildlife show on the discovery kids channel, how could she not stay?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.177.195.118 (talk • contribs) 13:42, 13 September 2006.
• STRONG KEEP! Bindi Irwin is already a well known and discussed person and will be even more now her famous father has passed away. She'll follow the footsteps of Steve Irwin, in fact she already does. We need her and this article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.73.40.73 (talk • contribs).
  • Above two anon edits are both 1st edits for those users. Probable sockpuppets of indef-blocked linkspammers User:Croclover/User:Universe Daily -- I@n 16:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As per VoldemortI elliot 17:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

See my response to Voldemort. -M^ask 23:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Reluctant merge She's definitely worthy of a mention, and I reckon she's almost certainly going to be notable in her own right one day, but wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Andjam 00:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
