Delete - The main The Country Mouse and the City Mouse Adventures already includes a section on the three main characters, and the remainder of this bloated list is extremely minor characters, nearly all of which are stated to have only appeared in a single episode. As there are no actual sources to move over to the main page, there is nothing to Merge. Rorshacma (talk) 20:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Every character description is unsourced and the notable characters are already included on the main page of the show. I don't think it makes sense to mention the minor characters in the main article because they are not recurring at all and only show up in one episode. Additionally, there is already a well developed page of episode breakdowns that mentions each minor character that is relevant to that episode. Tinyhabit (talk) 02:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Artem.G, per the relevant guideline, "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". Your nomination, by contrast, focuses on only the state of the article. Given that the AfD guidelines provide a checklist of steps to carry out before nominating an article, what steps did you take to assess the notability of this particular topic before nominating the article for deletion? Moreover, given that you proposed deleting seven articles (1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7) with nearly identical rationales within the span of just 10 minutes (one of which has already been closed as a speedy keep), what pre-nomination steps could you have even taken in that time? --Usernameunique (talk) 08:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The was a message on afd talk page about these list of characters. I googled all of them, and finding no coverage I nominated these article for deletion where other people could agree, disagree, and decide what to do. The span of 10 minutes is funny - could I google them all before nominating? Nah, too complex, nobody will do it. Artem.G (talk) 08:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm usually on the side of lists like this, but this seems solely plot and trivia driven. Gonnym (talk) 09:23, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Country Mouse and the City Mouse Adventures - Fails WP:LISTN as no independent, reliable sources discuss this group with significant coverage. // Timothy :: talk 11:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (and I'm not opposed to a redirect) because the list has no need to stay in an article of its own, that is, I see no undue weight to its contents if it's inside the main article. Rkieferbaum (talk) 13:27, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
