[edit] Shorty Meeks (Scary Movie)

Shorty Meeks (Scary Movie) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a non-notable character that fails WP:FICT's standards by not having real world information as described in WP:WAF. By failing those, it also fails the general notability guideline and it's two companions. Aside from that, it is built up from unwarrented plot information, and trivial quotes.

  • Redirect to Scary Movie.   jj137 (Talk) 17:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Unlike Cindy, he is not a key part of the series. So it would take a lot of sources for me to wish to keep the article. So I have no problem redirecting. i (talk) 19:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • How many times does a character have to appear to be a key character? Shorty made 2 appereances maybe 3 in 2008 so I consider him a key character. Music2611 (talk) 20:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The number of appearences of the CHARACTER in the MOVIE has NO BEARING on notability. What we need is appearences of THIS CHARACTER in independant reliable sources (i.e. sources that are not fan blogs, and which also are not made by the producers of the movie). Since the character lacks any coverage by such sources, it is non-notable, no matter HOW MUCH they appear in the movie in question. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 21:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete dumb, non-notable character from dumb, non-notable series of films. JuJube 02:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:FICT. No coverage in reliable secondary sources to establish notability. Doctorfluffy 08:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
