 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Delete since there is nothing to merge an stuff we better get rid off, then recreate as a redirect and protect to avoid having to go through this again. New arguments for lifting the protection and recreating the article (in the unlikely event that this does become independently notable) can always be made at the article talk page.

Drew Pickles
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Low importance within the Rugrats. Internet popularity is debatable IMO. Personally I think this page should be redirected to List of Rugrats characters. However, i'd also be happy for this page to be deleted. The main reason i'm nominating it for this 3rd AfD is because another user wants Drew to have his own article, and I dont believe he should.

 * Keep because if you search Drew Pickles on Google or YouTube,you will see that there is a crap loada results and Drew is part of an Internet group known as the Barney Bunch,and the Barney Bunch is also notable. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 16:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Rugrats characters. In the grand scheme of Rugrats he's a secondary character, and I doubt that there're enough sources for him to have his own page.  Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article even states that he is not notable. --T-rex 16:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: It says that he is not notable for his role in RugRats,but that he is very notable per his Internet popularity. ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 17:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Note - the most recent AfD on this article resulted in a delete/redirect --T-rex 16:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to the character list, where Drew is already covered. Most of the article is some kind of poorly-written semi-nonsense about youtube anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Rugrats characters.  D C E dwards 1966  18:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect The same as above. Rgoodermote  19:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect per everyone. Who gives a good goddamn about some retarded Internet kids. JuJube (talk) 23:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Rugrats characters, revert Barney Bunch junk and permanently semi-protect I've seen this broken out into it's own article several times, and it hasn't improved with each iteration. The Barney Bunch vandalism makes it one of the more annoying vandalism targets here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: How is the stuff about the Barney Bunch "vandalism"? ILikeMusicaLot (talk) 00:21, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The group's purpose to slander cartoon and children's characters. That can be considered vandalism. It's very unlikely anyone searching for Drew Pickles is going to care that some bored Internet group makes him say 'shocking and naughty' things using speech software. Also, keep in mind the policy WP:RBI; we don't acknowledge people that give characters secondary infamy they don't deserve by having them spout horrible toilet humor.

 * Redirect to target suggested above. There is nothing to suggest that this character is notable and as such, is eligible for deletion. Seraphim&hearts;  Whipp  15:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. Respectable degree of reader interest, as well as editorial effort.  Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Drew Pickles and the Barney Bunch is a notable internet meme.--Bb22493 (talk) 01:17, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to the character list, populary on the internet can be covered in a Barney Bunch article. Bobisbob (talk) 02:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
