Denis nedry
Non-notable character from Jurassic Park?--nixie 01:58, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep he was pretty notable, most of the bad stuff that happened was pretty much his fault. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 02:25, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The article has been slightly rewritten and formatted since it was nominated. Mgm|(talk) 09:59, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. The name (as "Denis nedry") is misspelled.  I've redirected the typo to our real "Dennis Nedry" article.  Probably still not worthy of an article, though. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:51, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 04:02, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. DanKeshet 08:26, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, the bad stuff was his fault, but he's still only a minor character. Merge as such. Radiant! 09:56, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Jurassic Park doesn't seem to contain any info on characters. Merge. Mgm|(talk) 09:59, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the Jurassic Park article. Characters that do not exist outside of a single book/film, and have had no wider impact on culture do not need separate articles. Average Earthman 12:46, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Jurassic Park for reasons cited by the Earthman. Perhaps redirect the correctly capitalized spelling, as I don't think it merits its own article, but don't redirect this version with lowercase "n".  Barno 18:30, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as redirect. Again I think we see very poor understanding of the issues and processes here. The Dennis Nedry article is not up for deletion here, and discussion of whether to redirect it should be on its talk page. Denis nedry is a bit of a problem, it doesn't seem a useful redirect to me, but there are other issues. My suggestion is to move it to Denis Nedry, and then to nominate the resulting historyless redirect at Denis nedry on redirects for deletion. But we need to get this vote out of the way first.

 * Keep the redirect and keep the article at Denis Nedry. He was an important character in that film. He set off the chain of events which almost killed everyone and destroyed the Park. Megan1967 22:48, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this article, but keep the Dennis Nedry one. Miss Pippa 09:52, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dennis Nedry. Capitalistroadster 10:49, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge and redirect - David Gerard 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as redirect as per Andrewa's analysis above. --Christofurio 21:55, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dennis Nedry. Jurassic Park is significant, and this is a very important character in the story.Oklonia 01:42, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Denis nedry; merge and redirect Dennis Nedry. Shortly after the original article at Denis nedry was vfd'd, it was redirected to Dennis Nedry.  The latter then had the  template applied, and the discussion pointed here.  Since at no point in Dennis Nedry's history does any of the text from Denis nedry appear, GFDL considerations do not apply.  Furthermore, the redirect is both miscapitalized and misspelled, so is unlikely to be searched for, and exceedingly unlikely to be linked to.  Regarding Dennis Nedry, this should be merged per Average Earthman's reasoning, either to Jurassic Park or with Ian Malcolm and Alexis 'Lex' Murphy (and possibly others) into a List of characters in Jurassic Park. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 17:06, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
