[edit] Mr. Swirly

This is a de-merger of the List of Doug characters. There is not enough information to warrant its own article. All of these articles were demerged by one user, Co-Incidental Guy. Adambiswanger1 05:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• I am also nominating the following:Doug Funnie, Skeeter Valentine, Patti Mayonnaise, Roger Klotz, Porkchop, Porkchop (Doug character), Beebe Bluff, Judy Funnie, Mr. and Mrs. Funnie, Mr. Bud Dink, Mrs. Tippy Dink, Ms. Wingo, Willie White, Al and Moo Sleech, Lamar Bone, The Beets, Boomer Bledsoe, Ned Cauphee, Larry, Larry (Doug character), Skunky Beaumont, Chalky Studebaker, Connie Benge, Fentruck, Mr. Shellacky, Quailman, The Silver Skeeter, and Quaildog. phew.
• Delete per nom, seems like the character list is enough. Yanksox 05:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I'll go through the pages and merge any new information, but I suspect this was just a copy/paste job.--Chaser T 05:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Great show back when I was a kid, but all the copy/paste character listings aren't needed. Kevin_b_er 05:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment How do people feel about redirects to discourage recreation? Maybe after the AfD closes to wipe out all the superfluous data?--Chaser T 05:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree with redirecting each one to List of Doug characters, not just to discourage recreation, but also tie everything up nicely. Yanksox 05:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Modifying nom Larry (Doug character) and Porkchop (Doug character) were apparently what you meant when you nominated Larry and Porkchop. It's somewhat out of process, but since it's so clear, I'll modify the nom.--Chaser T 06:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep/Merge the notable characters should be allowed their own page as they do in The Simpsons, the less notable characters such as Mr Swirly should be merged onto their own page.--Andeh 06:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Uh, they do. Have you seen the link up top?--Chaser T 06:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• I would interpret what he's saying as the primary characters (such as Doug) should have their own articles; ALL of the character articles were nominated here. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 06:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah, I know, but other than Roger Klotz (which should be merged), I haven't found non-redundant content in any article, the editor just did a copy/paste from the list and added identifying information necessary for stand-alone articles. Just look at his contribs. It took him about an hour.--Chaser T 08:56, 14 June 2006 (UTC)smacks self ok, i get it now.--Chaser T 09:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect all to List of Doug characters and merge any verifiable non-included content. blue520 06:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect all per Blue520. --Coredesat 07:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all. I see no reason to delete pages of characters from a highly notable television show. This might be easier if they weren't all lumped together. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. The already-existing list article is quite sufficient. flowersofnight (talk) 14:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge back in. --Xyrael ^T 17:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. With Disavian's caveat. — Mike • 20:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with List of Doug characters. Also, Co-Incidental Guy happens to be one of the dozens of accounts used by MascotGuy, a persistent user who ignores blocks and user comments. —tregoweth (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Use article talk pages to discuss merger idea. --JJay 12:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
