In-universe twaddle, almost no sources. Delete or merge, just get rid of it. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:58, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * MERGE to For Better or Worse. Not notable enough on its own, but warrants a section in the comic strip's article and as a search term should direct readers to the comic strip article. OfficeGirl (talk) 04:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to For Better or For Worse (note exact title). The article has mostly in-universe content and does not really warrant coverage as a separate article. Although this location was a significant setting in the comic strip for about two years, it is unlikely to be shown again in the comic strip, at least not for about 20 more years. (The cartoonist is currently retelling the story from the beginning, so we have a long time to go before Mtigwaki is re-introduced.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:54, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per sources listed in previous AfD. Someone needs to put them in the article, obviously, but there's enough to meet N and V here, so a merge is unnecessary, and FBoFW is already a rather long article. Jclemens (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have no strong opinion on this; but Mtigwaki is mentioned in the "Key Storylines" section of the main article; perhaps a "Key Storylines of FBoFW" could be split, with this article merged into it, and expanded upon, leaving a summary in the main article.  vıd ıoman  18:35, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep becauses sources exist, and there listed in the external links. I think I added those at the last AfD, and I was as suprised as anyone to find that it actually is notable, but it is. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 00:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge the existence of sources does not necessarily mean there should be an article. Unless the fiction is very notable indeed, locations such as this should be merged either into a spinoff article if there is enough material, or the main article. A redirect is always appropriate. Both the approach of the nom and of PF/JC just above are the extreme positions. If we could agree on merges, we could save a lot of trouble. DGG (talk) 03:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
