Trevor (Harry Potter)

This is taking the Harry Potter mania a little to far. This is such a minor character that it only deserves mention on something like Minor characters in Harry Potter, if that. Delete Preisler 03:06, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• A three word article? Delete. Or maybe some redirect. Just get it out of my sight. -R. fiend 04:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The Neville Longbottom article already states all the information this one had (which is simply that Trevor is a toad). I don't think someone will type "trevor" in our search bar hoping to find information about this, so I won't vote do redirect. JoaoRicardo 04:27, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's too specific. Also, too short for a redirect. Bratsche 04:40, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Covered elsewhere. - RedWordSmith 06:36, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
• merge or redirect or keep, otherwise it will be a red link again. Do not delink to it, there might be something else to say about itKappa 08:15, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Trevor is mentioned in the first book to introduce Neville ("The boy who kept losing his toad") and makes another appearance in the third book where it is shrinked by Neville's potion. Even minor characters are notable in enormous best sellers such as the Harry Potter series. Three words is a little short of course. 129.177.61.124 08:51, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neville losing his frog might be notable, but that doesn't mean the frog itself is. Did the frog ever actually do anything on its own right, instead of being experimented on by wizards?
    This type of content-free articles about non-notable characters sets precedent to articles about every brick in the Hogwarts school wall. — JIP | Talk 11:29, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • If you want your votes to be fully counted, you will need a user name and an edit history. Kappa 10:36, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neville's Toad is not significant enough for it's own article. He doesn't even have speaking lines. DaveTheRed 09:07, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Neville Longbottom. There really enough information to make a seperate article on this character. He can still be broken out later if more info surfaces or if he turns out to be incredibly important. Mgm|^(talk) 09:22, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and/or redirect to the most useful Potter-related person or category. Radiant! 09:28, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No interest whatsoever separate from Harry Potter articles, only worth mentioning in that in passing. Average Earthman 11:11, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This does not deserve it's own entry. --Bucephalus 14:29, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. So far below the threshold of notability that this must surely be someone having fun at Wikipedia's expense, or trying to make a point. --BM 14:35, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per Mgm, then brace for List of items seen on various shelves in Harry Potter. --InShaneee 18:08, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Obscure fancruft. Martg76 16:58, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Neville Longbottom. Redirects discourage recreation. -Aranel ("Sarah") 22:05, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
