Compo Simmonite

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is a restatement of most of the information for the character already on the main page for Last of the Summer Wine. Due to the nature of the show, the article could scarcely be expanded further due to constraints in character development. No other characters on the show have their own page but are linked either to main page or Recurring characters in Last of the Summer Wine. Redfarmer (talk) 17:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is an article about the character (who was killed off...) and should be covered in the article about the show. Pharmboy (talk) 17:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Surely in that case it'd still be worth a redirect?--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 18:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It only links from two articles: Bill Owen (actor), the actor who portrayed him, and Compo, a disambiguation page which could easily just have a link to Last of the Summer Wine instead of to this article. I don't see that the page is used enough to warrent a redirect. -- Redfarmer (talk) 18:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirects are cheap. If it's a plausible search term about something that verifiably exists or existed, then it should be included.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 19:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Last of the Summer Wine; though he was a principal character for a large part of the series' long run, he is adequately covered there, but he's worth a redirect. (We have endless articles about much lesser characters from lesser series, but they should go, too). JohnCD (talk) 22:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Last of the Summer Wine, there's nothing here which requires a separate article. Someone another (talk) 22:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
