Cornelius "Cory" Matthews (Ben Savage)
This is already well treated at Boy Meets World. Graham 00:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Boy Meets World. Nothing worth saving here that isn't covered in detail there. HumbleGod 00:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I know redirects are cheap, but nobody's going to look up this phrase. Danny Lilithborne 00:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no need for this article. I doubt anyone will ever search for that term (with all the quotes and stuff.) Alphachimp   talk  00:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete If it is covered in the series article, it has limited relevance. Michael 01:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Cory Matthews, the plausible search term already redirects to Boy Meets World. If there is ever reason to create an article on this character, that would be the space for it (caveat:this comment should in no way be taken as an endorsement for creation of such an article).  young  american  (ahoy-hoy) 01:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, De-stub, and Rename This is the lead character in one of the major sitcoms of the 90s. I fail to see how Danny Tanner is deserving of his own article and Cory Matthews is not.  In its current state, the article is not very comprehensive, but this is the point of a wiki, right?  Let's get some real information in the article and under a proper title.  69.248.65.105 04:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)  (Oops; didn't realize I wasn't signed in.)  &mdash;  Music Maker  04:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unnecessary article, unlikely search term. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 04:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename (of course expand as well) per MusicMaker. He's certainly notable and deserves his own page as (as MusicMaker put it) "the lead character [of] one of the major sitcoms of the 90s." Note that the section at Boy meets world isn't larger than a paragraph, so the topic is not already well-covered. &mdash; ዮም   (Yom)  |  contribs  •  Talk  •  E  04:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, pointless --Tony P 04:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with MusicMaker and Yom that a good article could be written about this character, but also with Danny Lilithborne, Alphachimp, et. al. that this would make a supremely pointless redirect, no matter how cheap redirects are. If there was anything worth keeping, I'd say it would be worth it to go through with moving it and either keeping or deleting the redirect, but that's not the case in this one-sentence "article". If anyone wants to write a real article on this character, they can do so in the way Youngamerican mentioned and nothing will have been lost. Icarus (Hi!) 08:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect necessary. Unlike Youngamerican, this comment can be taken as an endorsement to create such an article, but there's no reason to bother keeping this single sentence.  If you want a full article on Cory Matthews, be bold and edit the redirect there; I'd hope you can do it without this sentence as a starting point. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 14:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename per MusicMaker. Wikipedia is not paper, and there are many many less notable subjects that have articles here. Themindset 17:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Many less-notable sitcoms have articles every member of their casts, and this is a lead character in a fairly successful sitcom. I agree that it needs expansion, but the topic itself is worthy of keeping. — Michael J 17:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom --Mason 22:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment to those voting keep: The issue here (for me) isn't so much whether Cory is notable or not. As I said above, if you want him to have his own article, go for it.  However, your starting point should be splitting off the paragraph in the main Boy Meets World article, not this sub-stub.  This article and its page history are superfluous and should be deleted. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 23:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Currently not enough content for a full article. If someday someone wants to write up a full article, OK, but until then this is just a line in a larger article. --Fastfission 01:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please and rename to something better Yuckfoo 01:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
