Josh Nichols
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is unsourced and the information is covered nicely about the character at List of Drake & Josh characters. In addition, no other major characters have their own pages, and IMHO, none of them should. Tinton5 (talk) 06:04, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Drake & Josh characters if there is found to be any information not already found there. The first AFD for this article appears to be for a different Josh Nichols, so that info doesn't really apply here. Dennis Brown (talk) 13:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete and/or redirect to List of Drake & Josh characters. Just plot info (WP:NOT) and in-universe trivia, nothing sourced. The LoC already has a succinct character desciption, so I see nothing to merge. With this being the only D&J character that currently has a separate bad-shape article, it should be given the same (non-article) status as all the other characters. – sgeureka t•c 08:37, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Drake & Josh Characters. 11coolguy12 (talk) 11:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to List of Drake & Josh characters: The fictional character does not seem to meet the general notability guideline. As the fictional character has no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that make analytic or evaluative claims about him from a real-world perspective or beyond the plot of the TV show, any article about him can only be a summary-only description of a fictional work. On top of that, the article is unreferenced, so I do not see a valid reason to keep the article. A redirect to List of Drake & Josh characters may be a good alternative to deletion, but I favor deletion slightly since the fictional character's name is shared by real people not related in any way to the show.
