Non-notable recurring character. — Confession0791 talk 22:38, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Where do we even start here? No sources so it fails WP:V, no indication of why it's notable so it fails WP:GNG, it's written pretty crudely... I could go on and on, but the most important issue is the notability and verifiability.  Nothing I see establishes it as being worth an article.

 * Hugely strong delete – No attempt to establish notability, might even be some made-up character. King Jakob  C2 01:02, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Regular Show characters. There is no coverage about this fictional character to establish that a separate article is required. -- Whpq (talk) 15:34, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and precedent. Grammarxxx (What'd I do this time?) 16:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Why are you against redirecting to the list article where there is an entry for this character? -- Whpq (talk) 16:52, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Whpq. I note that all the other delete !votes here are non-policy-based, because WP:ATD clearly prefers a relevant redirect to an outright deletion. Jclemens (talk) 05:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete This article and List_of_Regular_Show_characters appear to contain copyvio from . IRWolfie- (talk) 20:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * We can fix the copyvio on List of Regular Show characters, just redirect this article to there. — Confession0791 talk 03:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That Internet Movie Database link is user-submitted and very likely a Backwardscopy. Most of the entries read like Wikipedia leads, so I examined the histories of Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. I spot-checked revisions prior to the list's creation on September 10, 2011, and found that the text had existed on Wikipedia for over a month. List of Regular Show characters was split from Regular Show by User:Temastok . by 80.98.24.185 came from the Pops article on the Regular Show Wikia. The Wikia page and List of Regular Show characters have similarities – I suspect copying in at least one direction – so it's not obvious which is the true source of .

 * Delete unattributed and unusable content from Wikia and redirect. Please also semi-protect to prevent 80.98.24.185 from recreating by pasting from somewhere (twice on this article and once on ). Wikia is compatibly licensed CC-By-SA, so the text theoretically could be used if desired, but any content appropriate for Wikipedia is already in List of Regular Show characters. There's nothing here to justify repairing the attribution. Flatscan (talk) 04:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The Adventure Time main characters have enough information for stand alone articles, and I just recently improved the Ice King article. The main Regular Show characters do not – and certainly not a recurring character like Pops. — Confession0791 talk 13:53, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * My point was that 80.98.24.185 has a habit of pasting from unidentified sources, creating work in identifying them, attributing their authors, and potentially removing copyvio. I have no opinion on Ice King as a separate article. The text in Ice King appears to come from List of Adventure Time characters. Flatscan (talk) 04:28, 13 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect any and all Regular Show characters to List of Regular Show characters. Mewtwowimmer (talk) 03:04, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
