Herman Toothrot

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

Wholly insignificant minor character. No claim of notability and no citations to reliable third-party sources. No attempt to offer a real-world treatment of the topic; article is merely a regurgitation of his appearances in several games, covered sufficiently in the very brief blurb about him in the franchise article. --EEMIV (talk) 02:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge both to a new article List of Monkey Island characters, along with Voodoo Lady and Elaine Marley. Fences  &amp;  Windows  15:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd rather suggest Monkey Island (series) or World of Monkey Island, no new page should be made.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 15:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Absent citations and a real-world, encyclopedic treatment, these characters' coverage at World of Monkey Island is sufficient; none of the current content is in any way worth merging. World of Monkey Island itself already is in sorry state, but at least the character blurbs offer appropriate brevity for such insignificant topics. --EEMIV (talk) 15:52, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge plot analysis either in Escape from Monkey Island or pages I suggested to Fences above.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 15:46, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Herman's plot analysis, I mean. Not Stan's.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 15:47, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I suggested a merge for Herman.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 16:28, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Stan. He's just a minor character. Although he may be funny and memorable, he's not really important.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 16:05, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Herman has some (although still little) potential to be notable, because of major story inconsistencies. There is nothing special about Stan.  Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 20:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge or Delete - Either way, the articles do not assert notability, so they don't need to exist in their current forms. TTN (talk) 02:05, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:JNN is not a valid reason for deletion. Best, --A NobodyMy talk 02:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That link it used for something like "It's not notable", not "the topic does not assert notability", which is a shorter way of saying "the topic does not meet the criteria set by WP:N, so the article does not need to exist." You should at least attempt to use such links properly. TTN (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The article does not have to outright say, "Herman Toothrot is notable." The coverage in sources and common sense significance is sufficient.  Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 02:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete (both) per above as non-notable, unsourced fan-service material. Wikipedia is not a fansite. Sincerely, Jack Merridew 10:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, TTN. (no independent sources can be adduced to establish notability, no real-world significance.) Eusebeus (talk) 21:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge both (less the inconsistency original research in the Toothrot article) into World of Monkey Island, they're going need redirects at these names as plausible search terms if deleted anyway. These two are a bit too minor in the franchise, despite being reoccuring characters, for sources to cover them in great detail. -- Sabre (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * merge no reason not to have some information and a redirect.    DGG ( talk ) 05:56, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
