This article has no citations, no sources and no real world coverage to establish the notability. Most of The Venture Bros. characters are not notable. JJ98 (Talk)  10:57, 21 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:19, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to the Venture Brothers character list. 65.95.14.96 (talk) 04:05, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to Venture Brothers character list. This article has six refs. Four to are to other Wikipedia articles, something I have never seen before and hope to never again. The other two are to a livejournal blog and a video. So the article has no refs. This is why I have not said "merge", as there is no sourced info here to merge. And this entity is not notable, it a character on a cartoon show. Herostratus (talk) 19:38, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I have seen alot of articles that uses Wikipedia as their only references. It's hard to correct that since someone on page patrol will revert people removing "references", and then slap a vandalism warning on you for your efforts. 65.93.15.125 (talk) 05:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * They will? Who are they? Tell them to stop doing that, and if they won't, get somebody else to tell them. Wikis are never good sources, are almost never allowed for any purpose, and Wikipedia is no exception. (Well, Wikipedia has more editorial control than many wikis. But it's still not a reliable source). In fact WP:RS says: "Although Wikipedia articles are tertiary sources, Wikipedia contains no systematic mechanism for fact checking or accuracy. Thus Wikipedia articles (or Wikipedia mirrors) are not reliable sources for any purpose." Period. For any purpose. Herostratus (talk) 05:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment _ I have added Rescue to the article with the hope that more references may be added. Artw (talk) 02:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - as a character with no info outside of WP:PLOT. No issue with a redirect, though. Yaksar (let's chat) 04:44, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
