Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Snowball III

Snowball III, along with Coltrane (cat) and Snowball V, was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to redirect the articles.

Three cats which Lisa Simpson owned in a single episode of The Simpsons after Snowball II died. Two died summarily, and the whole debacle eventually ended with a self-aware retcon of "and let's pretend this never happened." I'm not sure if the original Snowball II deserves an article, much less these three. Delete. Ian Pugh 05:58, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge them all into Cats of the Simpsons or something. -- [[User:Bobdoe| Bob Doe ]] 06:09, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Subtrivial. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:11, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. They too are mentioned on the Simpsons characters list. They deserve no more. In fact, much of the point of these lists is to give these minor characters (and pets) enough mention to satisfy the fanatics without these breakout articles. -R. fiend 06:14, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually, their tombstones are shown at the beginning of every Treehouse of Horror episode, but still not worth articles. Delete.  RickK 08:32, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect, to List of characters from the Simpsons &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  09:53, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of characters from the Simpsons. Add a (very) brief mention of the cats to the blurb for the episode at List of The Simpsons episodes and point the links in the character list to that section? -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 13:53, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect only is ok. Geogre 14:44, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I think these are all from a single episode (?), in which case merging them into an article about that episode would be good. By the way, maybe I'm missing something, but why isn't there a Snowball IV? Everyking 20:54, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * "Snowball IV" was actually an off-screen death, if I'm not mistaken. Ian Pugh 21:46, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Merge all into one article. -Sean Curtin 04:33, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fancruft. --Improv 16:54, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Familiar to millions and millions of viewers of this show. Simpsons is a mega-hit phenomenon. BTW, th reason there is no Snowball IV is that Coltrane was Lisa's fourth cat. (Even though Marge disliked the name, and thought it uncatlike.)Wiwaxia 05:02, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable and factually accurate. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 13:14, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
