 * Delete there are several characters named "Mr. Mouse", I hardly see this as a more likely one than the others. 70.55.86.100 (talk) 04:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Such as? At worst this should be merged into the Esure article.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if there are more characters with that name, that would be cause for disambiguation, rather than deletion. _ Mgm|(talk) 08:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Esure. The BBC article confirms the information in the article, but isn't focussed on Mr. Mouse as the topic (the mouse is just part of a longer article), therefore I don't think it is sufficiently notable to have its own article, but the information is confirmed and can easily be covered in the company article. - Mgm|(talk) 08:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge. There's enough references to pad out the Esure article: BBC article about the introduction of the trademark, and the subsequent trademark battle which went against Esure. Nevertheless, the fact that the trademark which won the case—Direct Line's red telephone on wheels—doesn't have its own article (it's covered at the company's page) lends support to a merge or delete argument. I'd favour the former per the requirements of the GFDL. Also, there's references to a "Mr Mouse" in several other places on WP (Mickey Mouse and Tom & Jerry cartoons, among others) if people are going to make a dab page. --DeLarge (talk) 17:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
