Cass Carnaby

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This character has only appeared in one episode, perhaps two, with no significant impact. Non-notable fictional character from Thunderbirds Simply south...... eating shoes for 5 years So much for ER 18:31, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Delete per what the nominator stated. not enough to merit an independent article.Bread Ninja (talk) 19:06, 2 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to "The Cham-Cham", the episode in which the character appears - I'd argue that "Cass Carnaby" is a plausible search term. The alleged cameo re-appearance is provided by recycled stock footage, and is original research in the absence of sourcing to confirm that this second character is indeed Carnaby.

 * Redirect or delete - only a main character in one episode, certainly not noteworthy enough for an article, either redirect to the episode or delete. Bob talk 20:22, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge either to The Cham-Cham per SuperMarioMan, or to a list of minor Thunderbirds characters--although I am unsure that there's enough "minor character" content for the latter. Jclemens (talk) 19:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thunderbirds is light on recurring characters; since the majority of characters appear in one episode only, I'm not sure about how much justification there would be for a "List of minor/recurring characters in Thunderbirds" (or something to that effect). I'll add that I have no objection to deletion; I would simply prefer a redirect (given that the article is only a few lines long, and that all of its content can be found in "The Cham-Cham", I don't really see anything that requires merging).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Memorable character but spectacularly fails WP:GNG. The cameo is verifiable, since it's mentioned in The Complete Book of Thunderbirds, but I doubt anybody searching for this would be looking for that and it certainly doesn't make him notable. Redirect as a plausible search term. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: The fictional character does not meet in anyway the general notability guideline and there is nothing to presume that the article can be anything different from a summary-only description of a fictional work. The article itself does not provide a single reliable source, which means that there is no valid reason to keep it as stand-alone article. As this is not a recurring character, only appears in a single episode and a cameo, is a minor character and there is no significant coverage of him, I do not believe that a merge or a redirect are appropriate.

 * Redirect to The Cham-Cham. Most characters that appear in only one episode aren't notable, and this one is not an exception. Since the character only appears in one episode, it's best to just create a redirect to that episode. I'm just no seeing any content worth merging.--Slon02 (talk) 16:45, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
