[edit] Laszlo Panaflex

nn Simpsons character only mentioned twice in a single episode PoptartKing 02:26, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not even a character; just part of a joke. (And only mentioned once, that I can recall.) HollyAm 02:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator, and I love the Simpsons. Superm401 | Talk 04:16, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• The entry explains the joke, providing the link between Laszlo Kovacs and the Panaflex camera. Keep it. 63.18.44.224 04:22, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is not The Simpsons Archive. We do not need an article explaining every one-liner on television. HollyAm 04:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

*Delete. I was the author of the page, and have already merged the info onto my user page. Laszlo Panaflex 05:08, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Or simple redirect to List of characters from The Simpsons, where I've added his name (hell, everyone else is mentioned there alrready). -R. fiend 05:47, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of characters from The Simpsons. All Simpsons characters are notable in some way, but they don't all deserve their own article. A merge is IMO the best solution. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:29, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• It's definitely one of the two: Delete or Redirect to List of characters from The Simpsons. I don't think this article should be in Category:Simpsons characters either. APclark 17:40, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete with No redirect. A name barely mentioned in one episode of a TV series. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 19:51, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete but redirect to Panavision... you never know if people are going to think there was as Laszlo Panaflex. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• If anyone goes searching for Laszlo Panaflex, they are most likely to be directed to my user page, where the information has already been merged, inclduing the links to Laszlo Kovacs, Panavision, and IMDB. I initially included the info here because it took me a while to figure out who or what the name referred to, and figured I could save someone else the trouble. With the info on my user page, that should be enough.

Otoh, Laszlo Panaflex is also the name of a Euro-beat dance band that had a big hit called "Dance to the Music" in 2002. http://www.beatport.com/artist/Laszlo+Panaflex If that information is added to the page, does it become a Keeper? Laszlo Panaflex 20:30, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - Page updated to reflect new research that does not really belong on my User page. Laszlo Panaflex 23:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - I've edited the page to concentrate on the band, mostly removing the material on the Simpsons character (which is already present in his bullet on the List of characters from The Simpsons). I'm not sure whether the band in question is notable or not, but as the article in question is now about a completely different thing, it should probably be re-listed. They have a page on Allmusic, and while I can't find evidence of their single charting, it's possible that I'm not looking in the right place. -Colin Kimbrell 16:56, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
