The result was keep. Overwhelming consensus to keep the majority of characters. Merge discussions should take place on the talkpages where still desired. – sgeureka t• c 07:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Appearing in a few episodes of the Simpsons and having a little blurb in books about the Simpsons doesn’t make you notable. I’m nominating this and a few other ancillary Simpsons characters without substantial third-party coverage (or even substantial appearances in the series) for deletion. These characters all have Wikia articles; if people want to find about them, they can a) go there, or b) Go to the general characters article, where some of their content should be merged when they’re axed.

I am also nominating the following related pages which are also ancillary and poorly-referenced Simpsons characters (of these, Wolfcastle’s only been in ten episodes, and Radioactive in three):

So I will limit myself to one observation, based on an ad for the new movie, which opens Friday. The ad shows the residents of Springfield lined up to buy tickets. There are 48 characters behind Homer, and if I couldn't name every single one, I could name most and knew the personalities of the rest. That's astounding. Most novels fail to offer up even one strong, memorable character, never mind 49. There aren't that many multi-layered, deeply nuanced worlds in literature -- Proust's Combray, Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County. Springfield, wherever it may be, is surely one of them." [3]
*Keep All I'm not much for the Simpsons (I pretty much stopped watching cartoons ca. 1979), but I have heard of all of these characters and these articles have very high traffic stats, and are (generally) well written.
