The result was Merge all &rarr; Top Cat As I am closing this AFD, I'll undertake a first-pass merge; I anticipate the result to be a bit rough, particularly because I am not familiar with the topic. I look forward to other more involved editors refining the article to smooth the merged content. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 01:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

following Articles for deletion/Choo Choo (Top Cat character) I will also list the other characters that had pages created shortly after I nominated Choo Choo for deletion (or at least his article). The Choo Choo debate ended with the result merge into Top Cat. Another option is to merge it all into a new List of Top Cat characters. Martijn Hoekstra 15:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Added after Merkinsmum and EALaceys votes:


 * merge all into Top Cat. 'List of (...) characters' articles tend to be pretty redundant as the characters that are worth mentioning will already be in the main article. So the list ends up on AfD.Merkinsmum 15:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge all into Top Cat. That article isn't very long, and the character articles are all very short, so I can't see a need for a separate "characters" article. EALacey 16:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions.   —Quasirandom 17:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge all per the guidelines in WP:FICT into Top Cat, rather than a List of article per EALacey and Merkinsmum. Though if this is a merge proposal, it should have been done as merge proposals rather than an AfD. —Quasirandom 17:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep then merge and redirect Top Cat (character) - character quite possibly notable as a popular culture icon, however information would be best placed in the main article for the tv show. Delete all others as not notable (and merge information when neccessary). Guest9999 18:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)]]
 * Merge all The Top Cat article is a good model of what we should do with individual pages about episodes, characters, etc. Mandsford 02:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * keep Pages I vote keep pages, all they need is a little work, i was working on benny's page yesterday and planned to work on the others tonight and tomorrow, We could somehow put a link into the character pages to link to the show's Main page. And putting all of the Characters Onto a single page aslo sounds like a good idea, but all character personalities and info fitted onto The main Top Cat page may make it alittle overdone.

 * Merge all as there are no reliable sources to demonstrate the notability of these characters outside of the cartoon series.--Gavin Collins (talk) 12:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
