Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lionel Hutz

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was speedy keep as an assumed good-faith nomination but with no good deletion reason given. This is a long-existing page linked to by many other pages, and as others have pointed out, certainly no less minor than many other characters from the Simpsons. More appropriate (but probably futile) to raise an argument for merging character pages on the Simpsons talk page (or the Simpsons portal). Turnstep 02:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lionel Hutz

Minor character in "The Simpsons." Brian G. Crawford 17:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep he was major for a time Will (^E_@) T 17:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep He has been a significant character in many episodes. Mike _{(T C)} 17:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• keep. Out of all the simpsons characters in the simpsons characters category, I would say this is one of the more notable ones. This character was voiced by Phil Hartmann. Obviously, we haven't seen much any of this character since his unfortunate and untimely death. Roodog2k 17:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
  • comment The character was retired from the show after Phil Hartman was murdered. That makes the character even more notable. Roodog2k 17:47, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the story about retiring the character could perhaps be emphasised a little more in the article, but this one is a keeper. --BillC 18:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep for all of the reasons stated above. Even if Phil's wife had not, sadly, taken his life and her own, Lionel Hutz would still be notable enough for his own article. Think about how many times the Simpsons have done something that landed them in court... if not for Hartman's death, Hutz would be in every other episode! -- Kicking222 18:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for above reasons. -- Mithent 18:26, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Hutz is notable enough to have his own article just like any of the Simpsons' characters.Shijaz 18:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable character in The Simpsons to have his own article.--Cini 20:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. He is certainly notable within the Simpsonverse. ... discospinster 21:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Hutz is sufficiently notable. Bucketsofg 21:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Lionel Hutz non-notable? Whaaaaaaaaaa? --Nobunaga24 21:47, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - really cant belive that someone actually wants to delete this article. Luka Jačov 23:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Definitely NOT a minor character. Danny Lilithborne 23:29, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep There is no such thing as a truly minor character on the Simpsons. There are a lot of characters less notable who have their own articles. Morgan Wick 23:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
