Art Vandelay
Not notable enough for an article on the subject. Information already exists in George Costanza. ERcheck 03:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. An entire section on Art Vandelay already in the article George Costanza (it contains more comprehensive information).  There has been a bit of an edit war already on this with previous redirections (x2) to George Constanza deleted and the article recreated.  ERcheck 03:53, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. An article on a joke that one TV series character used on a single episode is the perfect example of fancruftiness. JoaoRicardotalk 03:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Costanza. JoaoRicardotalk 08:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm newish here, but I wonder what the harm is if the name does redirect to George. Also I think the name was used more than once in the series. BabuBhatt 04:21, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If you can verify the additional usage of the name "Art Vandelay", you can edit the George Costanza article's "Pseudonyms" section to include the appropriate information. ERcheck 04:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Costanza. This was a somewhat popular running gag throughout the series, as I recall, but there's really no need for a seperate article on it.  A redirect is useful though. --W.marsh 04:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Costanza. Nothing to merge here. (ESkog)(Talk) 08:15, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * weak keep. says here it was used in 9 episodes . The term has become quite widespread outside of the show too with various companies, sites etc using the name - google results-- Astrokey44 |talk 14:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect - it IS worth an article, but there is nothing in it at the moment which is even stub-worthy, so until such time as there is enough information for a stub it should be kept on the page already mentioned by other people Cynical 14:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge until the section in George Costanza expands. Nothing wrong with creating a stub when there's no good place to put the information in another article, but that's not the case here.  BTW, if you call my cell phone and I don't pick it up, the voice mail intro begins "You have reached Vandelay Industries..."  Kurt Weber 17:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important gag for most of the series. -- JJay 19:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to George Costanza. If and only if the section gets too big in that article then it's worth forking off.  howch e  ng   {chat} 22:58, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to George Constanze. Stifle 13:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge Art Vandelay info from George Costanza into it, removing duplicated information. Sunnan 15:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
