 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to Jim Halpert. The "keep" arguments are quite weak; that the article contains valuable information is not a reason for retention. On the other hand, there is not a consensus to delete. Since merging is a proposed option, we shall go by that. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 07:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

The subject of this list isn't relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of Jim Halpert and fails our notability guidelines as the contents haven't received significant discussion from reliable, third-party sources. The article only contains in-universe material which is a violation of WP:WAF since we need to show that the fictional subjects we cover have impacted the real-world as well as the fictional world. Lastly, this appears to be listcruft as it is a violation of WP:IINFO and cannot be reliably cited from third-party sources, leading to inherent original research.

 * Why does it deserve to be deleted? It hasn't broken any rules. It's just a place where someone can see what types of pranks Jim has played on his co-workers. ThurstAsh13 (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it would be pretty beneficial for some "Office" fan out there, they could be wondering what pranks Jim has pulled on his fellow co-workers. This article would be exactly what they are looking for. Lots more information will be added as the show goes on and the descriptions can be enhanced to give the reader a great mental picture.

 * Comment. My heart sank when I saw this, but Jim's pranks have had at least some coverage in the media, e.g. . Fences  &amp;  Windows  02:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - regurgitates plot summary and offers too much trivial coverage of a character trait better covered at actual character article. Unlikely search term; no need for a redirect. --EEMIV (talk) 02:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Dunderpedia --Cyber cobra (talk) 03:28, 9 January 2010 (UTC) Transwiki-ing moot per ThemFromSpace's findings that the article appears to have been copied from said wiki. --Cyber cobra  (talk) 09:39, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the license for theoffice.wikia.com? Was the creation of this article in compliance with that license? Fences  &amp;  Windows  18:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article is an interesting guide to understanding the character of Jim Halpert. There is no purpose to deleting it unless you have an axe to grind against the show. --70.250.174.46 (talk) 05:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC) — 70.250.174.46 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment now that I've browsed the fan Wiki, this page seems identical to the one over there, so I see no need for a transwiki. I'm assuming that Dunderpedia has a compatible licence with us, but if not this would have to be speedied.  Them From  Space  06:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. adding "Halpert" to the title seems appropriate. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A merge would be okay too. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:25, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to Jim Halpert. Little notability outside the series, but would make for a good section in the article on the character. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 22:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - And I'm an Office fan, but many of these pranks aren't actually pranks, and the actual article isn't really notable. Neutral on merging with Jim Halpert. C Teng [talk] 21:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
