Merge to Batrachomyomachia
I skipped prodding this since while this is a rather poor stub with all the usual issues (PRIMARY, PLOT, fails GNG/NFICTION) the creature comes from ye famous Homer's Odyssey. I couldn't find any analysis of this character, however maybe someone else can? There are some reliable secondary sources that mention him, but they are just plot summaries (ex. ). Since it is a plausible search term, I'd suggest merging it here to a list of characters section (to be added). Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:16, 21 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge, although neither Primary nor Plot applies here, and as clearly stated in the article, the character isn't from the Odyssey at all, but from another work collected in a single volume with it. Primary doesn't apply because a literary work is perfectly acceptable as a source for its own contents—indeed, it would be impossible to describe a work of literature without doing so, directly or indirectly.  This isn't what Primary is about at all.  Nor is it inappropriate for an article on the character to explain his role in the plot.  While background and context should be provided, the fact that the significance of the character is only briefly discussed at *this* time would not warrant deletion of the article, which is what Plot would involve.  The article should be merged here because there's no need to have a separate article for each character, particularly as the entire body of the article includes only slightly more detail than is already found in this article.
