Konqi
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Vastly excessive details about a software mascot, sourced to wikis and forums. Keeps getting janked out of redirect. My assessment is reverting to redirect to KDE and making it stick. - Note: there already was a previous AfD that resulted in redirect, but that was a good time ago and for a very stubby version, not really comparable; so putting this up again.

 * Redirect - to KDE. Not nearly enough in-depth sourcing for a standalone article. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 10:52, 28 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep  Sourcing is adequate, there's nothing contentious here, and although KDE is less well known than some products, clearly we've accepted computing mascots as a group worth covering. After all, we have Wikipe-tan, with no coverage anywhere outside the project. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:18, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ...and you know what stands out in Category:computing mascots? 25 of the 28 entries are section redirects... - I'll let you ponder that one for a bit. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:33, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Dude, I'm getting irony whiplash here. First After all, we have Wikipe-tan, with no coverage anywhere outside the project. (which is an actual cherry-picked OSE fallacy), and then trying to apply it to the 89% consensus usage? It must be Friday. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The Wikipe-tan page is not in article space so has absolutely no relevance to anything in this, or any other AfD, discussion. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 20:45, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Section redirects to KDE is very short written, separate page of Konqi need for more details about this mascot. Konqi's page is also available in other languages. 22:18, 28 June 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.171.172.31 (talk)
 * Redirect per Onel5969. All the references in the article are sourced to KDE.org.  There is nothing independent showing notability to justify a standalone page. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 20:40, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe rename this page to "KDE Mascots"? KDE among mascots have - Konqi, Katie, KDE dragons, Kiki, Kate and Kandalf. Will better if it's will not Konqi's page, it will be the page of all KDE mascots. 03:33 29 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, or Redirect per nom. The current sources do not support notability -- none of them are independent. Lacking any better sources, the topic simply does not pass WP:GNG. BenKuykendall (talk) 05:01, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Onel5969 - there is no standalone notability here.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:46, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
