[edit] Doughboy (character)

Doughboy (character) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Fictional character that appears in only 1 film, Boyz n the Hood. I do not see how this character is notable enough for his article. This character has no secondary sources to establish notability. Even as fancruft I was trying to figure out why someone who create an article for him and not the other characters in the film. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 04:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Boyz N The Hood. --Hnsampat (talk) 05:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with Boyz N The Hood. Text could do with some trimming, but some of the content should be kept to strengthen that article. Debate (talk) 09:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect/Delete I am not entirely convinced that a merge is necessary, but a redirect wouldn't hurt per the higher-than-usual notability of the film. Delete only when the two arguments are not strong enough. – sgeureka t•c 10:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect does not merit it's own article, but content is good.  Atyndall93 | talk  10:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Let's not waste time merging this non-notable character. Madman (talk) 14:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, he is named after another fictional character, not notable. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 22:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
