The result of the debate was move to Apollo Creed. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prodded as Non-notable minor character from a notable film. Apollo Creed already redirects to Rocky, as it should deprodded as disagree with deletion. Please use regular WP:AFD process so we're bringing it to AfD. We probably do not need lengthy synoptic treatments of characters in Rocky, which has extensive detail as it is; however, the article has been the subject of considerable work. I would suggest a merge, but it is basically a narrative plot summary. Eusebeus 12:52, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and move to Apollo Creed. I struggle to call Apollo Creed a minor character. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 14:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Apollo Creed. As with Jeff, I have a hard time wrapping my head around calling the co-star in three blockbuster movies a "minor" character. RGTraynor 14:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apollo Creed currently redirects to Rocky, so are you suggesting that the existing redirect be removed and this content be inserted? Eusebeus 17:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's wxactly what I was saying.--badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 17:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but cleanup Apollo Creed is absolutely not a minor character in the Rocky movies. The article looks a mess so it needs some structure. It should be kept though. DanielZimmerman 17:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and Move to Apollo Creed, do not delete. (full disclosure: I was the one who deprodded this.) Calwatch 03:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rename appropriately; there's no ambiguity over the name, to my knowledge. Christopher Parham (talk) 06:19, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and Merge per the growing consensus. He's not a minor character any more than Gandalf is in a few LOTR films. Heck, we also have virtually every Pokemon thingy with an article. Carlossuarez46 23:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Delete it if you like. Noone will know once you've deleted them all. -- Crapbiscuit 23:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
