[edit] Moe (Calvin and Hobbes character)

Another Calvin and Hobbes stub! Moe is certainly not a notable figure; and besides, there's already information about him in the "Calvin and Hobbes" article.--FelineFanatic13^talk

Oooch, that signature! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, as nn character, and information is available at main article. --Terence Ong 15:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. per nom; there's no need for anything more expansive than what's already at the C&H article. Nifboy 15:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge to Calvin and Hobbes (if there's anything to smerge) and turn this into a redirect. No need for Afd in cases like this. Friday (talk) 16:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge " Thesocialistesq 19:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Smerge per above, with no objection to a redirect. PJM 19:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As noted by Oscar TheCat in the previous AfD for Susie Derkins, which was also caught up in this family of AfD's, it's an established trend to use satellite articles for secondary cartoon characters when the primary article is too long to plausibly support them. This is the done thing for The Simpsons, Futurama, The Flintstones, Charlie Brown and others, and it's working well enough here. There's no reason to saddle the main article further. — Adrian Lamo ·· 19:59, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as is. There is an obvious and widespread precedent to keep articles for individual characters in comics/books/TV shows of similar notability. Moe is notable enough within the comic for his own article (this is pretty well written, too.) Grandmasterka 20:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is one of those articles that shows it is possible to write a nice-looking encyclopedic summary on a fictional character. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 21:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Maybe the article, along with the other Calvin and Hobbes stubs, can be deleted and merged into Secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes instead of being kept.--FelineFanatic13^talk
  • Comment please, User:FelineFanatic13, no! We've already deleted things likeCategory:Terri Schiavo minor players do we need lists and categories of minor or secondary characters whose only notability is being somehow associated with something that is notable? Please, no! Carlossuarez46 22:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep to stop "minor players" creep. Carlossuarez46 22:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
• First choice keep, second, smerge into main article. To the best of my knowledge only eight characters are ever named in Calvin and Hobbes cartoons, so we're hardly going to get a flood of articles here (C, H, C's parents, Susie, Miss Wormwood, Moe and the babysitter whose name eludes me at the moment...) Grutness...wha? 00:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Rosalyn. I believe the Principal and the Doctor have names also. Keep by the way. Dsmdgold 02:21, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It's a pretty alright article I think, can be considered encyclopedic. :) --Andylkl ^{[ talk! | c ]} 19:51, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, recurring character in major cartoon. Kappa
