[edit] Molly the Yellow Engine

Molly the Yellow Engine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The page was created for a character which the rules CLEARLY state should not have had a page created for. Not only that, but it contained obvious false information. On accordance to WIKI:Thomas. CBFan 21:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment - containing false information isn't grounds for deletion, it should just be fixed. What rules clearly state this article could not exist? Darksun 22:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems perfectly valid to me. A glance at the template at the bottom of the page shows that plenty of other characters in the series have their own article, and this is one of the most successful British kids TV programmes of all time, not some six-episode flop. — iridescent (talk to me!) 23:25, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems reasonable to me. Could be sourced better, but that's an issue for cleanup, not deletion. Also, to echo Darksun: what rules? Bfigura (talk) 23:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC) Change to delete per Iridescent. --Bfigura (talk) 00:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Change to Delete having found this guideline - seems the WikiProject in question has criteria for which character gets their own page, which this one doesn't meet. — iridescent (talk to me!) 00:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge rather than delete. Per the guideline, "If the character cannot be seen as a 'regular' (eg. only had one appearance), then the correct article for the character is Minor characters from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandsford (talk • contribs) 01:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Minor characters from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, or other suitable article. Darksun 14:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just for the record, the real suitable place is the Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends) page, as the Minor characters page would not fit the frequently appearing Molly, nor is it really usuable anymore. Besides, if you check that page, you'll see that all this page is is just a complete copy of Molly's article from that page, plus bogus information. CBFan 18:11, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Correct place is Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#Molly, per WP:THOMAS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.138.23.60 (talk) 17:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
