Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kirk Sutherland

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep under criterion #1: no editor, including the nominator, recommends deletion of the articles. Mergers are a separate process. (Secondarily, the nominator has been blocked for sockpuppetry.) —C.Fred (talk) 16:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Added Note: A regular search of any of these turns up very little besides episode guides and ITV (the network the show is on). -- Dodgechris (talk | contribs) 11:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

• Merge Pam Hobsworth, Julie Carp and Ryan Connor to List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters, keep Kirk Sutherland and Molly Compton. While the state of the latter two article does not currently reflect it, both are highly notable characters, and the articles could easily be improved. I would also query why this is the second time this week you have nominated articles for deletion as non-notable, despite having created them yourself only a few days previously. List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters exists specifically for characters like Pam Hobsworth and Julie Carp - something which, as a heavy contributor to that page, you are well aware.

What of Kelly Crabtree, Vernon Tomlin, Chesney Battersby-Brown, Dev Alahan, Carla Connor, Becky Granger, Tina McIntyre, Harry Mason and Dan Mason? -- Dodgechris (talk)

I have had no choice but to renominate Carla Connor - she has previously been nominated in 2007, but the article was kept -- Dodgechris (talk)

I am still concerned about Kirk and Molly having their own page -- Dodgechris (talk)

• Comment - could you choose which articles you're nominating, and finalise your list? You've been nominating, un-nominating and re-nominating different articles for the past five hours, making it very hard to actually put forth an opinion. Frickative 15:29, 19 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

• Merge them all in the appropriate places, assuming none of them is actually a major character. If it is being asserted that some of them are, then this afd must be split and relisted. DGG (talk) 09:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

What shall i do with the rest of the characters on the deletion list? -- Dodgechris (talk)

• CommentI dont see the point in this AFD. If the nominator wanted to merge them, then why couldnt he have discussed on the List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters talk page? Like he has been doing with every other character!GG ^Moan 17:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Keep as a trainwreck. It's quite clear that the nominator hasn't quite decided what should happen to each individual article. Those that stand on its own should not be nominated. Those that should be merged to a list of characters can be dealt with outside of AFD. And if there are any left at the end of the activity, then they can be nominated for AFD then. -- Whpq (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

• Speedy keep. Since merging is not deleting, the nominator is effectively not asking for deletion. There are separate tags and procedures for merges. I'm on lunch break and don't have time to fully unwind the nominations, or I would close it myself. —C.Fred (talk) 17:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
