Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sea Duck (Tale Spin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 was Delete. Although there are ideas to merge, they have been speficially refuted as not needed, as most of this article is WP:OR. That doesn't mean the parent article couldn't be improved though. Sea Duck (Tale Spin) is an unlikely redirect, but Sea Duck is a valid one, and will now redirect to the parent article.

I loved the TV show TaleSpin, but come now, an article on the Sea Duck? It establishes no notability through reliable sources, and is an in-universe plot repetition that is already covered in the TalesSpin articles plot section. This is therefore duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep- hint for newbies, don't nominate articles for deletion for fun and ruin weeks of good work, its notable in my opinion anyway. AndreNatas (talk) 20:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Opinions are not relevant, the article needs to assert notability through multiple reliable sources, not guesswork. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hint for everyone, don't randomly throw out the phrase "good work" in a desperate attempt to save an article you like. JuJube (talk) 06:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I remember this show... I loved this show, mainly because of the Sea Duck. However, this article on the Sea Duck has two problems. Half of it is plot details already and better reproduced elsewhere, as mentioned above. The other half is one person's fan speculation about what humanworld aircraft components would need to be strapped together for an approximation of the TaleSpinworld "Conwing L-16": great for animation-fan kitbashers. However, with no WP:reliable sources to verify the information in the article or elaborate on the fictional aircraft's importance beyond the cartoon. I would suggest a delete or redirect without merge to the article on the cartoon. Also, Sea Duck redirects here, but would be better redirected to the TaleSpin article as well. -- saberwyn 22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I have to go with Saberwyn's logic as it pretty much mirrors my own thoughts on the topic. My !vote would be Redirect without merge as there's not much non-original research here worth merging. JuJube (talk) 06:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect - there's nothing here really to merge that isn't already in the main article -- Whpq (talk) 14:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into Tale Spin as a sub-section and redirect to that section? I know it probably doesn't have enough information and notability to stand on its own, but the plane is a fairly prominent part of the show. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 22:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No secondary sources to establish notability or provide real world context. Redirecting to Tail Spin doesn't make sense if there's no merged content because you'd have to type "Tail Spin" anyway to search for it. Since the article already duplicates content from the main article, merging is pointless. Jay32183 (talk) 01:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete - per nominator's reasoning. Nothing valid here to merge. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I have to agree with Jay. With Wikipedia:NOR pulled out there is nothing to merge and the likelihood of someone typing "Sea Duck (Tale Spin)" is slim. Dimitrii (talk) 15:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
