Dangerous Dan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm not convinced that this character is notable. It says that he only appeared in the Beano comic strip for a few months during 2011, so people who didn't read Beano during 2011 have probably completely missed him.

There are five sources listed: A search on Google for "Dangerous Dan" and "Beano" returns mainly unreliable sources (such as forum discussions) and dependent sources (such as websites belonging to the publisher or to the artist). Stefan2 (talk) 18:43, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Three different issues of Beano. Obviously dependent of the subject.
 * A link to the artist's personal blog. Obviously dependent of the subject.
 * A link to Photobucket, included in violation of WP:LINKVIO. This is actually to illustrate that there is a different character with the same name in the comic Desperate Dan. This one is obviously independent of Beano, but since it doesn't mention this character, it can't be used to establish that this character is notable.


 * I propose merging to List of Beano comic strips instead. Eopsid (talk) 20:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I just put most of the information in the article into the relevant section of List of Beano comic strips. I now think a delete is appropriate. Eopsid (talk) 23:19, 28 March 2013 (UTC)


 * delete (or merge, if there's anything useful). We still have a great surplus of Beano & Dandy character articles that are of far too minor significance to support them as separate articles. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:57, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
