WP:NN fictional character. Would have been CSD#A7 if it extended to fictional characters. Related AFD: Articles for deletion/Little Monster   Toddst1 (talk) 22:25, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to Bibliography_of_Mercer_Mayer. One could make an argument of inheritance but there is not enough content to justify a spin off article. And there are no sources to justify a standalone. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 06:47, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I went ahead with a bold move and copied part of the content to here. If there is disagreement will undo it or we can discuss on the talk page of Bibliography_of_Mercer_Mayer. (note to self: redirect Just Grandma and Me, create anchor, del old fu rationale) -- Green Cardamom (talk) 06:47, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Bibliography_of_Mercer_Mayer as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think it passes WP:GNG, though I would rename it to the "Little Critter series" and focus it on the book series. The books get much coverage in Reliable Sources both individually and as a series. Here are some of the many news articles (at least some of which are Rliable Sources) covering the series in depth:, , , . Redirecting to the bibliography does not seem ideal becuase the series passes WP:GNG on its own. Hoppingalong (talk) 01:50, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You are right that "Little Critter Series" probably passes GNG, but this article isn't about the series - it's about the character which doesn't appear to be notable. Toddst1 (talk)
 * Commenting - So why not move it leaving a redirect? The text would hardly change at all for the move, but could use work for other reasons. And the character himself also gets coverage as a character:, , , ("Mayer's Little Critter is a popular figure among primary schoolchildren, who have bought 50 million books starring the furry creature").
