Edgar the Butler

No offense, but this sounds like a 10-year-old's school essay on a character in a cartoon movie. Besides the poor writing, the subject is not notable. I hope this author continues to be interested in Wikipedia and to contribute some better articles when he or she is older! RussBlau 19:00, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. "Edgar's last name Balthazar is not mentioned in his only film" - then how do you know that's his last name? Merge, as suggested below - minor characters in films should be kept on the film's page. -- 8^D ^gab 19:20, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
- From the script, of course. Lurtz's name is never mentioned in the film either. R adiant _* 12:51, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, and cleanup as necessary. He's the main villain, and this page is interesting to fans of the films and fictional butlers. Kappa 21:14, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Clarify please - do you mean the page is interesting to fictional butlers? Or do you mean the page is interesting to fans of fictional butlers? Do we have a fictional butlers catagory? -- 8^D ^gab 00:43, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
  - I meant fans of fictional butlers, though presumably fictional butlers themselves would enjoy reading it too. Butler has a short list of them. Kappa 02:25, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    - Actually, turns out there's a category for fictional servants... close enough. -- 8^D ^gab 05:03, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
Merge whatever can be salvaged and redirect to The Aristocats. Weird that this is the only character someone wanted to write about. The guy's last name is original research, however. —Wahoofive | Talk 21:34, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- FWIW, the guy's last name is actually mentioned in The Aristocats article. No vote. --Calton | Talk 11:55, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge per WP:FICT. R adiant _* 12:54, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
