Dr. Karbunkle (Biker mice from Mars character)
Article about a fictional non-notable character; We should merge into Biker Mice from Mars, then delete, per WP:FICTION. Vectro 05:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Ponch&#39;s Disco 06:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Merge and delete is a violation of the GFDL.  ColourBurst 07:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, how exactly does the GFDL factor into this discussion? :o Vectro 04:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that ColourBurst is saying that the nom is flawed, in that the nom requests merge and delete, which isn't allowable under the GFDL (edit history must be preserved). ergot 15:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete most of this information already exists here. Unsearchable fancruft OR. An orphaned article. -- I sl a y So lo mo n  |  t a l k  09:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Biker Mice from Mars. There is no reason this article should be deleted. Merging can be done without AfD or deletion. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd like to point out that Karbunkle is very notable character to the plot.AnaMizuki 06:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Even so, if the article isn't large enough to warrant a separate article for the characters (and this seems to be the case here), WP:FICT says to keep it in the main article. ColourBurst 16:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Don't be such "deletionists". By the way, love the double standard about deletionists and the "neologism" argument for deleting wikipedia pages. DougHolton 04:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * (Going offtopic, if this gets out of hand I'll move it to the talk page) Indeed, the article deletionist would not be notable in the encyclopedic namespace; that's why it doesn't exist. But I'd also point out that dividing people into deletionists and inclusionists is not helpful; it only serves to create factions and undermines real discussion and concensus. Let's talk about the merits of an article in an engaging way, not build forts and defenses. Vectro 04:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems rather a lot to merge into the main Biker Mice page, which only has fairly brief descriptions of even the Mice. I was just about to create an article on Lawrence Limburger (the series principal villain) and his henchmen - including Karbunkle.  Would it make more sense to merge it into that? --Anglo-Norman 09:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * If you would be so nice.AnaMizuki 12:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. The info in this article can be cut down into a nice paragraph.  I would leave out the "Dress" and "Species" parts and cut "Physical appearance" down to one sentence. - Lex 07:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I would like to keep the species part, because it has been a mystery for the fandom for years.AnaMizuki 10:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * As a general rule, we like to keep fan speculation out of articles. This article says he is confirmed as a mad German scientist, so that's the info that should be included.  If you can find a reliable source about the species speculation, then it might warrent inclusion. - Lex 16:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
