Article has no out of universe notability, all nothing but fancruft. JJ98 (Talk) 21:48, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Either weak keep (with much trimming) or redirect to The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. I'm leaning toward the former because the character is front and center in a movie, TV series and video game. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:29, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up/improve - as Clarityfiend says, he's the main (title) character for a movie, animated series, and video game (see Jimmy Neutron (disambiguation)). That also creates the problem of there being no clear target to merge and/or redirect. Ansh666 02:01, 6 September 2013 (UTC) Now that the franchise article exists, we can merge there. Ansh666 16:29, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. Fictional character that appears in multiple notable fictional works without a single merge target.  Likely notable in his own right. Jclemens (talk) 02:33, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and major clean up per above. Yes, the article is mostly fancruft but the subject is notable "Likely in his own right," said Jclemens. Article needs more sources and needs to be more encyclopedic in tone. Overall, the article is not a subject for deletion. Mediran ( t  •  c ) 13:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the main article. Anything discussing the character would likely fit into the main article perfectly fine. It can always be split out again should it take up too much space. TTN (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the main article. I agree with TTN.  If it takes up too much space, it can spun out. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep central character in significant entertainment franchise (spanning multi-season TV show, several movies, games, rides, etc.) Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  20:28, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Jimmy Neutron (disambiguation) (which should be located at Jimmy Neutron) as he isn't notable on his own. Disappointed with all the "he's a central character" votes - Notability isn't inherited.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 21:35, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Suggestion - how about this: we repurpose this page to be about the franchise instead of the character? Move it to "Jimmy Neutron", etc. I'm surprised that there isn't such a page already. Ansh666 21:42, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: It'd probably best to simply make a new article. If we were to convert it, we'd likely have to toss out most of the article. – Bellum (talk) (contribs) 23:11, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect/merge: The franchise itself is worth noting, but I'm not sure Jimmy Neutron, the character, is so iconic or influential. Compare SpongeBob, who we have a GA on, who's been in focus with people wondering if he's gay, and has himself become very popular. At any rate, if Jimmy is notable, we should try to find sources that prove it, rather than simply assuming it right off the bat. And if we find them, it still might be worth redirecting this until all the sources are made into an article -- as this one is presented, it isn't really that great, and we might want to try and start anew. – Bellum (talk) (contribs) 23:11, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I've started an article on the franchise: it's at Jimmy Neutron (franchise).  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 14:12, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Jimmy Neutron (franchise), as the most reasonable outcome. Cavarrone 05:28, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
