Melissa Duck

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG and has a lot of WP:ORIGINAL, also Melissa Duck only really appeared for one short. Will support merge to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:06, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Topic fails WP:GNG. The only real world information is some irrelevant bit about the cartoon in which the character was featured. TTN (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters. Although I am sad to see the article go because then we'll likely no longer use that image and she is one smokin' hot duck. Also there's a suggested merge template that's been on there since May 2020. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:31, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - The vast majority of this article is not actually about the character, but about a bunch of other character that may or may not be the same duck. As none of this is sourced, this is pure WP:OR and should be removed.  I was going to agree with the merge to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters, but upon searching, I can find almost nothing on the character in reliable sources.  Maybe a Redirect to Baby Looney Tunes, since that appears to be the only real series in which she had a significant presence, would work?  Rorshacma (talk) 15:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:48, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * So much WP:OR! may represent the "origin" of the Melissa Duck character... bears a strong resemblance to Melissa Duck... Despite having paler feathers, the female duck from this cartoon physically appears very similar to Melissa... also the possible inspiration for the Shirley the Loon
 * After all that's been trimmed, there's the one Looney Tunes short and Baby Looney Tunes that the character definitely appeared in. Fictional characters need to have real world notability, but none is asserted, no one here has suggested any, and I couldn't find any myself so this isn't really a viable subject for its own article. None of the three potential targets are great - List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters is mostly links to full articles with only four characters of actual content, but I suppose we could merge the bits of this that aren't OR there. A redirect might also work, but I can't decide if The Scarlet Pumpernickel (first appearance, more prominent work) or Baby Looney Tunes (subsequent appearance, less prominent work, but much larger role) would be a better target for that.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to a list of LT characters, no evidence of stand-alone notability - just plot summary/mentions in passing here or there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:50, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
