Consensus to merge back in April but it ain't happened yet. What little sourced content there is already exists at Beanie Baby or List of Beanie Babies, so a merge is redundant. There's no qualifier for "special" — is Seaweed the otter special because one of Wikipedia's top editors is an otter fanatic?

 * What's the point of holding a deletion debate? Replace the text with a redirect and be done with it? I can't see any value to losing the edit history. But I admit I might be missing something here. TheGrappler (talk) 03:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and comment consensus was to merge, just no one made the effort to do so. Per WP:NODEADLINE, there should be no rush to either. The page should not be entirely deleted just because no one did it. Many pages get very little readership or editing, which in itself is not grounds for deletion (see WP:NOEFFORT). Rather, this should be left as such until someone goes ahead and completes the merge. Xyz7890 (talk) 14:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy Close - If somebody wants to boldly close this as a pointless AFD, I will undertake to do the merge that has been outstanding since April 2010. -- Whpq (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
