Stinky Peterson

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article describes three different fictional characters with no out-of-universe information, no citations, and no assertion of notability. The characters are not inherently related to each other (except by name). Nominating via AfD rather than CSD because the article has been around for a while and is linked from multiple other articles (one of which is in AfD right now). &mdash; KieferSkunk (talk) &mdash; 19:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, no out of universe content. Nothing useful at all. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:59, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strip to the bone. This article seems to be an overblown dab page. The first entry has some meat the others don't. Keep the one about the Hey Arnold character and delete the rest. If there should ever be enough info to give them their own character they should be dabbed rather than tagged onto the existing entry. If we delete the last two, a redirect to Hey Arnold is also possible. - Mgm|(talk) 23:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * As MacGyver says, it's in essence a disambig page filled with in-universe original research. So make it a true disambig page to the articles on the television shows they're from. As a side note, I find it interesting that there are three different characters with the same name from three different shows. I (talk) 23:42, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I disagree with turning this into a disambig page. It's possible that the character from Hey Arnold is notable in his own right, or at least notable enough to have a section in the main article about his show, but I can vouch for there being absolutely no notability for the Red Green version, and it doesn't appear that the third show he's mentioned in has much notability either.  So if there's a reason to keep Stinky Peterson with respect to Hey Arnold, we should either trim this article to just that character, or merge it with the Hey Arnold article.  (My vote is for the latter, since articles about fictional characters need to have lots of out-of-universe press about them to be separated from their mains.) &mdash; KieferSkunk (talk) &mdash; 01:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If he is notable in his own right, which he isn't, then we still need a disambig page. The other two characters could legitimately be searched for, so we cannot have Stinky Peterson redirect only to a section in Hey Arnold. So make it a disambig page pointing to the character entries, or if they are lacking, the shows. I (talk) 05:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete No secondary sources to establish notability or provide real world context for any of the three characters. Jay32183 (talk) 04:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but copyedit Character in a show that's been established as notable, and has separate articles for its other characters. Article needs to be tagged and tightened up.  The other characters of the same name should either be links at the top ( for the S. Peterson in the Red Green Show click here ), or worked into the prose but without the OR'ish assumptions.
