Rod (Avenue Q)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Tagged for lack of refs three mounths ago, nothing has been done since. Buc (talk) 17:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep No valid reason to delete has been provided. If the nominator wants sources adding he should exert himself rather than bothering the rest of us.  Here's a start. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not here to do the work that the person who created the article should have done in the first place. Logic says that if info is tagged as not cited and remains that way for a while without anything being done, it should be removed. Also looking at that link I would have to quation it's notablity too. Buc (talk) 09:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * See WP:BEFORE. This states emphatically, If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD. That is obviously the case here in that either sources could be added through normal editing or the article could be merged to Avenue Q through normal editing. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:27, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * But what is "normal editing"? I didn't write this so I've no idea where this info has come from. Buc (talk) 12:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep But at some point, the article NEEDS to be improved. It doesn't happen by magic and it isn't helpful to insult the nominator.  The burden to source information lies with the editor adding the information. Protonk (talk) 15:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Avenue_Q. While the nom gave an editing issue as a reason for deletion (which falls under WP:SOFIXIT), I'm not seeing an assertion of real world notability in the article. An admittedly quick look at the list provided by Colonel Warden showed notability for the characters as a group, but not this individual one. Perhaps a spinoff article covering all the characters would be in order?-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  21:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The first source is quite specifically about Rod. Sources such as hit #3 are about Rod too.  Colonel Warden (talk) 06:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge per Fabrictramp. Rod is certainly not of the more important characters in the show. I wouldn't be opposed to creating a separate character article. Glass  Cobra  21:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
