[edit] Flicky (bird)

Flicky (bird) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article fails so many criteria: WP:V, WP:FICT, and is just a generally non-notable fictional character. How this article was kept the first time around, I'm not sure. Any relevant information to the character itself is already in Flicky, which is the respective character's video game article.

• Delete Apparently fails WP:N. Seems to be very limited coverage of the game he appeared in, nevermind the character itself. The article on the Flicky video game is unreferenced, so any coverage would go towards providing content/citations for that article. Bridies (talk) 04:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete I was going to suggest a merge first, but the article only lists in detail where and when this character had cameo appearances, and is a gameguide otherwise. Nothing that I see that would necessitate merging. – sgeureka ^t•c 10:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as per nominator. There's a failure to establish the notability of this character. It has not earned its own article. Randomran (talk) 15:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Merely lists the appearances of said bird in a variety of different Sonic games, all of which mention the character. Thus, however unnotable the character is, the article is redundant anyway. Also, there are no sources to establish any notability. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 16:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge. Merge with Flicky.Fairfieldfencer FFF 17:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. Normally I automatically vote keep for articles that have passed AFD with a keep decision within the last couple of months. This one is unusual because it was closed after only one keep and with the comment "based on discussion" from the admin involved. I'm hesitant to make a decision either way until I find out more as to the closing editor's rationale. Has anyone asked him/her? 23skidoo (talk) 20:19, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The previous discussion was was wrongly closed, as I see it. The single 'keep' was an I-like-it argument. Bridies (talk) 20:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

• Remove all uncited material (i.e., all of it.) Marasmusine (talk) 12:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I take it that's a delete vote due to uncited material? Kind of an obscure way to make a point for deletion, but oh well. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 16:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
