The result was withdraw nomination. Carlosguitar 05:07, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am withdrawing my AfD proposals in favour of the solution suggested by User:Blathnaid in the discussion below; which is to keep four main P'n'R articles and merge three minor ones, including this one "Ballydung 666" (Sarah777 01:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]
- Ballydung 666 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
I am completing an incomplete AFD by Sarah777. There was no reasoning offered, but the article has obvious real world notability issues and probably cannot be cited with reliable secondary sources as required by WP:FICT. I vote Delete.

- Delete.It might (or might not) merit a reference in The Podge and Rodge Show, but certainly not as a standalone article. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 22:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Apologies, I had nominated several articles related to the The Podge and Rodge Show but obviously didn't get the nomination process right. If you check Category:Podge and Rodge there are twelve articles that probably all belong in one; certainly several are fail WP:NOTE when looked at separately, eg.
* Ballydung * Ballydung 666 * Ballydung Manor * Fester and Ailin'
There are also three main articles on the show
* Podge and Rodge * The Podge and Rodge Show * Features of The Podge and Rodge Show
and there are other miscellaneous articles such as
* A Scare at Bedtime which is a combination of a list of dozens of red links embedded in yet another version of the Podge and Rodge article.
There are about five more articles which should either be deleted or merged into a single Podge and Rodge article. (Sarah777 23:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]
- I agree that this article is perhaps taking things a bit too far but surely A Scare at Bedtime being its own show should have its article kept intact? And Features of The Podge and Rodge Show could be put in with the main article on the show but I thought that article was getting crowded enough as it is. Also Podge and Rodge is not specifically about the show - it is about the presenters and some of the information predates even A Scare at Bedtime. It should be noted that there is more than one show at stake here. --Candlewicke Consortiums Limited 19:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. Could you merge everything into two articles; R'n'P show and ASAB? I appreciate your hard work but in the general scheme of things in Wiki they like a single topic to be covered by one article. (Sarah777 21:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]
- Actually, the two series, The Podge and Rodge Show and A Scare at Bedtime probably do merit their own separate articles. A Scare.. was broadcast internationally and did win awards and The P'n'R Show is one of the highest rating shows on Irish television. The characters themselves probably deserve their own article, as they have a history and notability beyond the programmes alone. (In the same way Elmo isn't just a section in Sesame Street - and I admit that is a comparison I never thought I would ever make.) Most of the others really don't merit seperate articles: for example, Fester and Ailin could be merged into A Scare.. as they only appeared on that series and the others could be simple redirects.

- Keep Podge and Rodge, The Podge and Rodge Show and A Scare at Bedtime per Flowerpotman. Features of The Podge and Rodge Show seems OK to keep to me, since it covers three series. Merge and redirect Ballydung 666 and Ballydung Manor into Podge and Rodge, and merge Fester and Ailin' into A Scare at Bedtime. Bláthnaid 11:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That seems about right; if there is general agreement on the 'keep 4, merge 3' do I have to change my formal proposal? (Sarah777 12:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]
- I think if you say that you withdraw the nomination, this discussion can be closed. (I can help with the merging) Bláthnaid 00:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
