 *  Delete Redirect Delete. Note that the creator improperly removed a speedy tag added by, so that can presumably be restored, though maybe as A7. —KCinDC (talk) 19:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Redirect as Wily suggests. —KCinDC (talk) 01:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC) Er, Uncle G is right—that redirect would be useless. —KCinDC (talk) 15:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Er... Delete. Not sure that this completely avoids WP:CSD, but even if it does it certainly comes a cropper against any notability guideline you care to mention.  one brave  monkey  19:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete- I was going to suggest a merge into the article on House, but, after reading the article, I've seen there's nothing to merge, so delete. I'll let someone else make the lupus joke. Umbralcorax (talk) 20:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, no salvageable content. GregorB (talk) 21:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_House_characters. Since it's already covered in more depth there. Wily D  21:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List_of_House_characters, going along with Wily's good idea. --Lockley (talk) 22:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect per the above. Jclemens (talk) 23:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and I tagged as db-bio. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 00:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Um, OK, but I really don't think that speedy criteria applies. Does anyone REALLY have a problem if we just close this and redirect the article to List_of_House_characters per WP:BEFORE?  No one's arguing that it should be kept in its present form. Jclemens (talk) 02:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't. I declined the speedy.  Cheers.  lifebaka++ 02:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, my bad on the fictional character db. I am not a fan of redirecting something just to close an AFD.  If the concensus thinks that this is a "good" redirect, then that would be fine.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 12:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What use is it as a redirect? What reader is going to type "Steve McQueen (rat)" into the search box? Uncle G (talk) 15:19, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I boldly implemented the redirect. While it's unlikely that anyone will type this precise name in the search box, complete with parentheses, there is a likelihood of typing "Steve McQueen rat", and this redirect will take them where they wanted to go. --Orlady (talk) 15:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
