Mad Tea Party (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable as a stand alone article. Redirecting didn't make sense considering it is unlikely someone would land here accidentally. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:22, 8 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Mad Tea Party (disambiguation) should be included in this as well. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:23, 8 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. I agree that the disambiguous page should be deleted as well.Rorshacma (talk) 19:03, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Hatter. This is the correct title of a very notable episode in the book though I have always known it referred to as the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. However since the topic is covered in detail in another article there is no need for both (though I would not argue too hard with somebody who argued that this should be the proper title since the Hatter is not really notable outside this episode which is known for much more than one character eg this 2011 Guardian headline). --AJHingston (talk) 20:39, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I would say merge, but there's no real content here. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:50, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: I have changed the disambiguation page into a real disambiguation page (instead of a stub article as it was before). However, per WP:TWODABS, even if this article is kept, we don't strictly need the disambiguation page; deleting it would be fine.  Powers T 15:04, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and redirect to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland until it's fleshed out more. It's here in Chapter 7 of the classic children's story that we meet the March Hare, the Hatter, and a sleeping Dormouse (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). --Uncle Ed (talk) 00:48, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Alice's Mad Tea Party is a significant literary motif often commented upon, referenced, and parodied in other literature. (Have a look at the 1,000 or so GScholar hits and 6,000 or so GBooks hits for examples.) It certainly could be the subject of a good Wikipedia article.  As yet, however, I find no real discussion of this in Wikipedia, so I am fine with redirecting to  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland unless and until such time as there's more.  However, I think there's something just a bit screwy about the notion that when someone searches for "Mad Tea Party" they get taken directly to the Disney ride without any clear direction to the Alice discussion.  I note that the disambiguation page has already disappeared; while I understand that as a matter of Wiki-Dab rules, I am not sure this is the best result for the reader, and I hope that a satisfactory hatnote or other disambiguation methodology is maintained here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:58, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I put a hatnote on the ride article; is that not sufficient? Powers T 14:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete at this time for lack of content. This topic should be evolved with realiable sources in of the suggested main articles per above, and only then become a stand-alone article when WP:SIZE calls for it. – sgeureka t•c 09:52, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - not because it isn't notable, but because it lacks sufficient content to support its own article presently. I also agree with nom, redirect is unnecessary.  SaveATreeEatAVegan 09:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
