Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Meatwad (2nd nomination)


 * 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 delete and redirect to Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Apparently per Notability (fiction) we do not have any notability criteria for individual characters from works of fiction, so the general notability guideline has to apply - and none of the keeps have shown evidence that it does, the parent series being does not make individual characters notable. And the claim in Articles for deletion/Meatwad that the deletes are all referencing is that the general notability guideline is not met. So delete it is.

Was turned into a redirect as the result of an AfD back in 2011, and nothing has changed since back then. Should be a redirect, but you have an editor who doesn't agree with the prior AfD insisting on re-creating the article. So the article should now be deleted, and then a redirect created to prevent spurious re-creation in the future.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:29, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect - Solely in-universe perspective both here and in coverage. Fictional elements need to have some coverage outside of their universe to be notable enough for a stand-alone article, i.e. information about the individual character’s development and design, or critical reception to the character, reliably sourced and independent of the subject (WP:GOLDENRULE).

 * Delete and redirect My analysis is the same as Onel's and so this should be a delete first and then redirect, not just a redirect. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:45, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete then redirect per nom. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 01:57, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Considering that Meatwad is one of the three central characters of ATHF, and considering that the show is one of Adult Swim's more notable shows, it should probably stay. An effort could additionally be made to add more sources. IceWalrus236 (talk) 02:36, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - as a major character from a long-running series he is sure to have decent notability. The article really just needs a good re-write. Grapesoda22  (✉) 04:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - none of which are actually policy grounds for keep. Notability is not inherited. Onel 5969  TT me 10:59, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect as per nom. Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:57, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per above - a notable character from a very notable show. The page does need a bit of rewriting to add more sources, but it should stay. Paintspot Infez (talk) 12:09, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Aqua Teen Hunger Force since subject does not possess significant and independent Wikinotability. -The Gnome (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
