Result: Delisted Article merged into List of Ed, Edd n Eddy characters. AIRcorn (talk) 00:42, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is sorely lacking in worthwhile content. The "Role in Ed, Edd n Eddy" section is a mostly unsourced "say what you see" account at best, and original research at worst. The short "Creation" section includes the most real content, but is entirely sourced to primary sources. The "Personality" section is more of the same as is in the "Role" section- again, say-what-you-see or original research, sourced directly to the show. The "Reception, appearances in other media and merchandising" section contains nothing about this character in particular; instead, everything is about all three characters or the show generally. I'm not convinced that this character even needs their own article, but, aside from that, this is certainly not ready for good article status. J Milburn (talk) 22:40, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I brought the "Role" and "Personality" issues up in the GAN, but I wasn't the reviewer who passed it.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:47, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that this isn't ready for Good Article status. There's not enough focus on the subject of the article. The "Personality" section is all original research. The creation section should be significantly larger and have more than one sentence about Eddy. The article is not written in a way where it would be friendly to a reader unfamiliar with the subject: i.e it assumes that "Eddy"'s personality is something the readers would have an innate understanding of. As much as being "say what you see" I'd say that there are examples of WP:Peacock too. Eshlare (talk) 23:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is also Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy). Looking at the sourcing in both articles I am thinking a merge/redirect to List of Ed, Edd n Eddy characters would be the way to go. AIRcorn (talk) 23:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Made a proposal to merge these articles here. AIRcorn (talk) 23:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal seems unanimous in merging the character bios. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Ok, the articles have been merged, and the bot has removed them from the list of GAs. This discussion can now be closed. J Milburn (talk) 09:07, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
