Non-notable: character from the fredthemonkey.com website, which was already deemed non-notable (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred the Monkey.com) —C.Fred (talk) 03:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete nn. Bucketsofg 03:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete; he's a platypus. Non-notable both on its own and due to precedent in previous AfD. Speaking of which, I'd be wary of puppetry here... --Kinu ^t/_c 03:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as non-notable website character --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 04:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 04:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• I think that at least there should be a mention of the website and characters in some sort of "Minor Flash Cartoons" article. After all, other Flash cartoons only were able to get popular and well-noted because of word of mouth. Homestar Runner is a prime example, and I bet back in 1999 nobody would've expected it to be what it is today. TTE 04:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, Newgrounds has an article, and so do about ten animations off of it—some of which are up for Wikipedia awards! IMHO, the difference is that those articles have the underlying research to support that the subjects are noteworthy. Fred the Monkey didn't, and neither does this character. —C.Fred (talk) 04:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, it's a platypus. D'oh! What I meant to say was, delete, non-notable character from an obscure webcomic. JIP | Talk 14:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete If Homestar Runner and Brent Sienna don't have their own pages, there's no need for this. 204.69.40.7 14:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Homestar Runner does have his own page, incidentally. --DLand 16:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete Fred the Monkey himself (in the Newgrounds cartoon complained about the hypocrisy that Clydex has an article and he doesn't - so let's fix the problem! --DLand 16:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Obscure, plus their wasting volunteer time by writing to OTRS. -- Zanimum 19:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as nn and not meeting WP:WEB. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 19:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Although I thought the website itself was borderline notable, this individual character clearly isn't. --Russ Blau (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per all above Evillan 21:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I might have voted keep for the website, but the character alone certainly doesn't make it. JoshuaZ 04:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: When half the article is a commentary on its own deletion, it's a sign of something. Peter Grey 06:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per norm, but I still wanna see a pic! --DragonWR12LB 07:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Information on the character belongs with the article on the work it's from. The work was deleted as not being notable, so this needs to go too. NickelShoe (Talk) 07:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete nn - the.crazy.russian (T) (C) (E) 21:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
