The result was redirect to List of The Venture Bros. characters. Merging/redirct to a central kliost is long standing policy for these kinds of nn/merginally notable characters Spartaz ^Humbug! 17:01, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that this character would meet the notability. This character has no citations or sources, and it has no real world coverage. JJ98 (Talk) 06:33, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: This article is one of many for the characters. If this is a delete, they all are. Maury Markowitz (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to a List of Venture Brothers Characters (with Comment) The previous editor's comment is the question here, isn't it? While there's no question about the notability of The Venture Brothers, are the individual characters able to pass wikipidia's guidelines for fictional characters? The problem is that there's no strong set of guidelines for fictional characters that I'm aware of. Still, Notability itself is fairly cut and dried, that the subject must receive non-trivial coverage in multiple secondary sources. This article in it's current form does not demonstrate that this is the case for this character (as distinct from the television show he's a character on). This is not an animation icon such as Charlie Brown (a character analyzed in dozens of books on his own, separate from Peanuts). This is one character on an ensemble half hour comedy. So given the lack of sourcing the most reasonable degree of coverage he should be given is as part of that ensemble. For reference, see the treatment of all of the characters of Arrested Development in the List of Arrested Development characters. I haven't looked at the other Venture Brothers character pages, but it seems likely that merging all of them into a list is likely the best course. -Markeer 03:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
