 * Redirect to Carl Barks. Kimchi.sg | talk 00:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious merge I don't think you needed AfD for that. Just be bold next time. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect seems to be the best coarse of action. Sorry Guy 04:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, no merge, very notable person. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 04:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The person already has a good, long article. The article up for deletion is for a single story he wrote, not for the article about the man himself. --Icarus 05:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Carl Barks -- there's nothing to merge.  dbtfz talk 04:19, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. There is no purpose in redirecting this, as the only article that links to it is the author's own article.  All a redirect would accomplish would be to create a link in that article that redirected right back to that same article.  If it had other articles linking to it I'd vote to redirect, but in this case it's pointless and would only waste the time of anyone reading the author's article who wished to see what this article had to say. --Icarus 05:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Carl Barks. All Carl Barks stories are notable, but there must be something to actually say about them. J I P  | Talk 17:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and use this page as a redirect to Carl Banks. Obviously mentions of Only a Poor Old Man in Carl Banks article should not be wikinlinked, and it would be a good idea to state this on the talk page for Carl Banks. If anyone wants to turn Only a Poor Old Man into a proper article, then that would be a different matter, but it doesn't seem as though anyone does. Tyrenius 17:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
