Mike and Mabel Motley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Totally in-universe biographies with what I surmise are "references" based on individual comic strips. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:21, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following pages for the same reason:

I am also nominating the following "dab" pages, seeing as they are dependent on the nominations above:

 * Merge into Motley's Crew. It appears to me that what there is now is just a couple of paragraphs for each character. I don't think that that this would bloat the Motley's Crew article beyond repair. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 19:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, redirect the disambiguation pages. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:29, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

I would have to agree with GentlemanGhost and say merge. Although it might take longer for someone on dial-up to read the merge article about Motley's Crew than it does for us on broadband, the idea of having all this information on one article may not be bad for the encyclopedia in the long run.

 * Comment If it is merged, it would have to be significantly pared down from its current form. As it is, the articles contain a large amount of in-universe perspective content along with original research. The articles also rely almost exclusively on primary sources. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect Mike and Mabel Motley and Truman and Tacoma Motley to Motley's Crew. Delete Rivalries of Mike Motley because it is an implausible search term for this content ("rivalries" is not the same thing as "disliked people"). Delete Mr. and Mrs. Motley, Mr. Motley, and Mrs. Motley per nom and then redirect them all to Motley (surname). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:34, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Mike and Mabel Motley, as long as we Merge Rivalries of Mike Motley into it. The rest can either be merged or redirected to Motley's Crew. Fortdj33 (talk) 04:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * After realizing that Mike and Mabel Motley were the main characters of the comic strip Motley's Crew (and deserve) their own article, I have officially changed my vote for the Mike and Mabel Motley article to keep in addition to having the Rivalries of Mike Motley article merge into that article. All the other articles deserve to either be merged with the main article or to redirect to that article. GVnayR (talk) 19:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect (I agree with Metropolitan90). --Cuoralho (talk) 23:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect titles exactly as Metropolitan90 suggests. bd2412  T 12:02, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Metropolitan90 and the various others who have agreed with said user. The various honorific+Motley combinations are incredibly silly and do not need to be linked to the comic strip in any way.   dci  &#124;  TALK   16:34, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Incredibly silly", I couldn't agree more. If the editor (who created all these "annoying" pages) wants to create pages like that, I suggest him to do it outside Wikipedia... Thanks for the cooperation. --Cuoralho (talk) 10:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
