Plácido Flamingo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A pretty insignificant character. The article even admits that there are no toys of this character, and any Sesame Street character of any significance has jillions of toys. D O N D E groovily  Talk to me  01:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree the character probably isn't individually notable, but much is made in various sources about Sesame Street over how he (like other parody muppets who aren't individually notable, such as Alistair Cookie, Phil Harmonic, and Colambo) is one example of aspects of Sesame Street that are aimed at parents. Do we have an article on that? Could one be made? (As a side note, muppet.wikia says that PF is often cited as an example of introducing kids to opera, so I may not have looked hard enough.)

 * For what it's worth, Flamingo is already listed at List of characters in Sesame Street D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  01:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Wickedjacob. Why are we even having an AfD discussion? I don't see where the nominator has tried to redirect the article and been rebuffed for it. Jclemens (talk) 19:48, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't think it was that obvious. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  01:34, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect or merge: just not enough reliable independent information to WP:verify notability and create an article beyond a stub. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
