The Sinister Slug

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

I declined the speedy deletion nomination as technically A7 doesn't apply, but notability is definitely lacking. Bringing it here for further evaluation – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 01:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. He's a one-shot in Sponge Bob.  No real notability.  Anything else on him to change my mind? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 02:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to the redirect target for the episode, or to a list of characters. JJL (talk) 02:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge: per nom, I was the one that put the CSD up. -Falcon8765 (talk) 02:47, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * merge into List_of_characters_in_SpongeBob_SquarePants. No need for a redirect, as I doubt that anyoneeven knows that this character exists. If someone types it, the aforementioned page will anyways come up in the search results. Redirects also take up as much space as the original article(Yes, I know about WP:PERF,but I still don't like unnecessary redirs.) Manish EarthTalk • Stalk 08:21, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Manish, in terms of taking up space, a redirect is almost always cheaper than a deletion; because "deleting" material on Wikipedia just means hiding it from non-admins, and deletion discussions are expensive in editor time (as well as usually occupying more space than the article being considered). This page should really be called "Articles for Hiding". Besides that, a merge includes a redirect because of Wikipedia's content licensing provisions and to preserve the article's history.  Deletion only happens when AfD decides the article's title deserves to be a redlink. I should clarify that the above is a remark and not a !vote of any kind.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  12:15, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
