"Devious" Diesel
Character from Thomas the Tank Engine. Possible merge. DCEdwards1966 09:39, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd love to see this get merged somewhere yeah, though it's no worse than a lot of the f*ncr*ft currently floating around. I'm voting for the merge destination some wise editor is bound to suggest beneath this vote. --fvw *  16:21, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)
 * Delete. not notable. Cleduc 07:35, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Merge" basically means "keep".  It would be interesting to know just how many of these articles which are retained after a VfD where the preponderance of votes is either merge and/or delete, actually get merged, rather than "kept" or "no consensus" (meaning kept).   Anyway, as the father of a 5 year-old, and therefore (temporarily) an expert on Thomas the Tank Engine, I can tell you that Diesel is a very minor character, who appears in ony a couple of the episodes, of which there are dozens.  By the way, most of the biggest fans of Thomas the Tank Engine can't actually read the Wikipedia, never mind expand articles like this.  --BM 21:02, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
