Patchy the Pirate

Minor fictional character on SpongeBob SquarePants. Only appearred in 4 episodes (and seqways of a SpongeBob marathon). Article has no sources and no notability outside the SpongeBob universe. 650l2520 00:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nn fancruft. --- RockMFR 01:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep, barring that: Try to Merge with SpongeBob SquarePants or List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters - except both of those articles seem to be approaching the limits of WP:SIZE. Article definately needs cleanup in any sense. If lack of sources is the real problem, then it should be tagged as unsourced. -- Antepenultimate 01:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Spongebob Squarepants. --Captain Wikify ^Argh! 02:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters. The article has some weight in it that it could probably be merged into the characters' article.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?}Reviews? 02:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters. True, that page is getting quite large. If need be it can be broken into subpages in some smart way to be figured out by people active on that article, but per WP:FICT, there's no need for a separate Patchy the Pirate article.

Merge per Ed. Jorcoga ^Hi!_{02:54, Tuesday, January 30 2007}

Merge - per Pascal.Tesson. Minor character as per WP:FICT should be part of main page. Ronbo76 06:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Needs clean-up though. Axl 08:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Axl. Arrrgh! -Candy-Panda 10:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and merge. Once you remove the trivial, there won't be much left of this article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - minor character. --Dweller 12:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters, not that a notable character, does not need a page on its own. A brief mention on the list is okay. Terence Ong 12:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless references provided Article appears to be entirely unreferenced. Unless references can be provided, it should be deleted. I'll reconsider at that point. Dugwiki 20:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Mr. Krabs' daughter is in more episodes than this guy. Minor player. --Silverhand^Talk 16:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As Strong A Keep As There Can Possibly Be: This has gotten out of hand! For one, WP:CRUFT is not a policy or guideline and on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Fancruft several users said that it is wrong to try and use cruft as an excuse for deletion and too many decent articles like Larry the Lobster and this one have been merged when they shouldn't have been.

Thank goodness, then, that Wikipedia isn't bound to rules like they're a suicide pact. Of course, "ignore all rules" is a horrible argument to use in deletion arguments (referring to my latent use of it 02:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)), so I suggest a Merge (and redirect, of course), because of Item 2 of WP:FICT Gracenotes ^T § 02:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
