Dopey Dick

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

lacks notability, essentially an article on this WP:ONEEVENT Rtphokie (talk) 13:10, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. But I have put the content into a small section in a new article on Captive orcas, even if it does not really belong. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:16, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't belong at captive orcas since the whale wasn't captive. I suggest merging with Derry. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Have to agree that it was not captive. Don't think it belongs in Derry either. Just a not-particularly-notable event. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. While it is somewhat unusual for the whale to be disoriented yet survive the ordeal, I'm not convinced his salmon hunt is a memorable event or had any lasting effects on the town -- hence, he's not notable. - Mgm|(talk) 22:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably not at all relevant to an AfD discussion, but the article was viewed 528 times in January. There is some interest. But I have never heard of viewing stats being brought up as a reason to keep. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
