Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tucker Wells

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete. However, I notice that there is no article for minor characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm going to merge and redirect in the hope that it will inspire some consolidation of other minor characters into a list. Rossami (talk) 07:32, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tucker Wells
I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer but this is beyond the acceptable level of detail. DCEdwards1966 02:15, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * This is apparently a single-episode character. Merge into Buffy the Vampire Slayer plot summary for now ; there currently is no separate article for this episode.  There really should be an article on Brad/Caleb Kane, but that's a separate thing. iMeowbot~Mw 03:13, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Why would someone summon demonic dogs to attack a prom? There are questions to be answered. Well, I say keep it until/unless an episode article is created, then move/merge. Everyking 06:54, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * It was the same old tired plot device, he couldn't get a date, so nobody was going to have a prom, muahahaha, all that. A plethora of  free episode guides explain this in excruciating detail. iMeowbot~Mw 10:31, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * So he couldn't get a date, and apparently he trained hellhounds to hate things associated with proms by having them watch videos of some sort. Well, how did he summon hellhounds in the first place? This stuff should all be in the article. Everyking 10:46, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * The most complete summaries listed above were found by referring to the first two external links listed in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so Wikipedia is already covering this ground. Fan reviews show that this was added "Almost as a side issue," "a random subplot that really doesn't affect the main story," "didn't do much for me" -- certainly nothing that calls for a separate article. Even fans regard it as cruft. iMeowbot~Mw 11:18, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonnotable fancruft. One bland part of one episode does not a full article make. Not worth the redirect either. DreamGuy 22:12, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete after some thought. If someone does choose to write episode articles, all the information in this article can be obtained by watching the show, which writing such an article would require. iMeowbot~Mw 11:44, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. His brother, Andrew Wells, is a fairly important character, and is often referred to as "Tucker's brother." The page might help someone who had heard that reference but not seen "The Prom." Secretcurse 02:10, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nonnotable fancruft. Indrian 04:02, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Del. NN trivia. --Jerzy(t) 04:00, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)
