 * Merge The information at List_of_recurring_characters_in_Futurama is not currently enough, but you don't have to add much more to it for it to be enough. JDDJS (talk) 17:16, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge, even if he is cute.  Flutter shy  !xmcuvg2MH 22:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Secondary character of Futurama - one of the most popular animated shows of the past 20 years. See Nibbler at GoogleBooks: . There are some references to it on first glance. The first link seems good. He is referred to as "THE NEW ITCHY". Creatures called the "Onii" resemble him. He is described as "a tiny, diapered, buglike alien" in the book Television cartoon shows: an illustrated encyclopedia, 1949 to 2003. When the characters were 3D sculpted, Nibbler was described as "appear[ing] to have been inspired by a combination of a baby, chimpazees, meerkats, and a tulip" by the artist himself. Taken from GoogleNews. I don't have access to it, but this book that I found via GoogleScholar looks pretty good. Also, I'm sure he has been mentioned, explained, analysed etc. in various ComicCon interviews.--Coin945 (talk) 02:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Proposal notability. Androids101 (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge as the above states. WP:SET states popularity is not notability. Ncboy2010 (talk) 13:02, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * My argument for keep wasn't that Nibbler was popular. That was just a little "in my opinion" rant about futurama :P. I went onto Google Books, Scholar and News and came up with a short list of things that in my humble opinion help to justify his notability. Obviously there is much more out there. I just made a start.--Coin945 (talk) 02:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep this is the main character of several episodes of the show, and it is probably a more relevant character for Futurama than the cat or the dog are in the Simpsons (both the cat and the dog have separate articles). Nergaal (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You should know about WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, plus Santa's Little Helper is a GA. C T J F 8 3  02:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
