I have attempted to redirect this page, but it seems that many are against a redirect or merge, so here we are. This page is nothing but fancruft; it fails to describe the subject in any real-world context, and a quick lookaround shows me that it most likely fails WP:NOTE if any were added. Cheers!

 * Delete without prejudice to recreation if a referenced and encyclopaedic view of the character can be written about. The character may be notable, or may become notable once the film is released, but there is nothing salvageable in the article as it stands. The entire Wimpy Kid suite of articles has problems with kids writing stuff "in universe". There is a Wimpy Kid Wiki which would be a better home for this sort of fan writing. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:23, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * ...and redirect. Sorry, I forgot to say that it should be redirected (to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series), as suggested by Whpq) after deletion. It is quite likely that somebody might search on it. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:37, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: The article stinks, but I am looking for reliable sources. 209.175.117.2 (talk) 20:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: As per nominator: a non-encyclopedic fanpage. Not notable enough to warrant a page on his own. Jarkeld (talk) 21:25, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I have the same thoughts as the one above; there isn't enough in the Wimpy Kid series to actually write a full-fledged article on the character, even if he is the main one. Letsy2 (talk) 00:54, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series). If the redirects are overriden with fancruft, then it can be made a protected redirect. -- Whpq (talk) 16:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with you. This article looks like a 3rd grade child's book report. This article is just fancruft. Somebody500 (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of characters in Diary of a Wimpy Kid series; it was merged before, so why not merge it again? 66.99.23.194 (talk) 00:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to section on List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters. The character is not individually notable and therefore I agree with Whpq's suggestion that the redirect be protected in the event that someone turns it back into a separate article. Neelix (talk) 18:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to List of characters in Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Too much OR, not enough WP:V. It fails to describe the subject in any real-world context. And Synthesis-- it's full of synthesis. The one source listed is FaceBook.  Dloh  cierekim  19:17, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect. By any standard, this is excessive detail. It need not be deleted first, because nothing here actually needs to be hidden--it's just  unsuitable as a separate article.    DGG ( talk ) 04:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of characters in Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (with the history preserved under the redirect) so that editors can use the content in a merge if they so desire. Cunard (talk) 04:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
