Failure to meet WP:GNG: No significant coverage by reliable, independent sources distinct from the franchise as a whole. Angry Birds Wiki and other fan sites referenced are where this article belongs, not Wikipedia. This should be merged to List of Angry Birds characters. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 17:41, 13 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to List of Angry Birds characters, fails GNG, and two refs are from wikis. -- AmaryllisGardener talk 18:07, 13 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per above. I would like to note, however, that an AfD nomination is really not the best place to propose a merge. If we get a consensus to merge, then that's fine and we can go ahead with it, but as far as I know AfD nominations are meant to argue for deletion. (I recalll reading somewhere that merges should be discussed on talk pages, but I'm not sure.) CtP ( tc) 20:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the reminder; I'll keep that in mind. I do tend to notice, however, that some merge proposals can last for weeks or months with no action or dialogue. Maybe in such cases a bold merge is in order! --Animalparty-- ( talk) 20:58, 13 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, if you think a merge or redirect is uncontroversial, you can boldly do it yourself without discussion. If in doubt, discuss. And, yes, this AfD could technically be speedily closed because you have not argued explicitly for deletion. In the spirit of WP:IAR, I prefer to keep these sorts of discussions open, however.

Ah, yes, I have also witnessed merge proposals go untouched for long periods of time. You're right that a bold merge would be necessary in those cases. CtP ( tc) 15:22, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Once this AfD has run its course, I don't think anyone could object to a bold merge. Whoever does it can always refer back to this discussion, which will be templated on the talk page, should the need arise.  Philg88 talk 15:28, 15 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Merge seems sensible. Bearian ( talk) 22:32, 16 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge Notable, well written. Even if its small in amount, the subject still got some importance. OccultZone ( TalkContributionsLog) 05:16, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge, Red is not notable enough; however the content can be added to the list of AB characters. The Red article can redirect to the list. Frmorrison ( talk) 16:13, 17 June 2014 (UTC) reply
