List of Rugrats cast members

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

This list should be deleted because all the information is already covered in the main Rugrats article and the character articles. Basically, this article is redundant. John Sloan (talk) 20:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Question If it's all redundant, what's wrong with the title: if this is the only problem, couldn't it be redirected? Nyttend (talk) 20:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * IMHO, a redirect would be pointless. The only article to redirect to is Rugrats, and no ones going to type List of Rugrats cast members to find the Rugrats article. They're gonna type rugrats. Deletion is defiantly the best option here. John Sloan (talk) 20:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to List of Rugrats characters. AndyJones (talk) 12:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just like to mention the only reason I suggest deletion over redirect is because no ones going to type List of Rugrats cast members to find the main, character or list of character articles. :-) John Sloan (talk) 13:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You are seriously underestimating how cheap redirects are. It does no harm to retain this as a redirect just for the benefit of people who happen to have this article on their watchlist, or who once bookmarked it, and as an effortless way of keeping blue the 31 internal links that point to this page. Deletion is such a visible part of the wikipedia process that people assume it is the right way to go for all kinds of matters that can be dealt with through normal editing. A few years ago "redirects are cheap" was one of wikipedia's buzz-terms. Its heard far less nowadays but remains as true as ever. AndyJones (talk) 16:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I see your point, but I must point out that all of the links to the page will be lost anyway. Even if the result of this AfD is redirect. This is because most of them come from the Rugrats navbox and the rest point to this AfD. And if the page is deleted or redirected, the link in the navbox will have to be removed.

 * Delete. The list is already included in the main template in the Rugrats article, and in the list of characters article. Therefore, it makes the list redundant as the nominator has mentioned and is worthy of deletion. Tavix (talk) 00:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
