Bear the Diesel Engine
The page appears to be original research/a personal essay --Mysidia (talk) 00:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - one of the characters from The Railway Series about Thomas the Tank Engine. Other characters have articles.--AYArktos 00:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC) (Note that I tidied the article after Mysidia's nomination from anon editor's start - I appreciate that without links, categorisation or context it looked like a personal essay.)--User:AYArktos |  Talk 19:48, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Major characters in popular fiction are notable by current standards. Ashibaka (tock) 02:29, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup (I'll make a start). --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Engines in the Railway Series are notable, even though Bear seems to be a fairly minor character. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems perfectly valid to me. Can't see how it's original research. Merge and redirect Bear, AKA D7101 here, assuming this is the common name for the thing. AKAs don't belong in titles. (Note: We have a Thomas the Thank Engine vandal, so please be extra careful with the info you move). - Mgm|(talk) 08:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll merge it in now. Should be okay, since if "Bear the Diesel Engine" gets deleted "AKA D7101" should too. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 10:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: part of a vauable resource; a single article to cover all those characters would be enormous. —Phil | Talk 12:51, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:NOT paper, and per Ashibaka. --Blackcap | talk 19:32, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * keep per everyone who has voted keep before me. Thryduulf 20:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per AYArktos. I loved Thomas the Tank Engine when I was little.  Psy guy (talk) 22:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
