The result was Redirect. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mermaid Man for my full reasoning, but in a nutshell this is the best middle ground and interested parties can merge content from Barnacle Boy page history if they are so inclined.--Isotope23 15:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barnacle Boy[edit]

Barnacle Boy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - (View log)

Minor fictional character from SpongeBob SquarePants. Only appearred in 6 episodes. Redunant with the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and List of SpongeBob SquarePants characters articles. Article has no sources but WP:NOT says: Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. 650l2520 00:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy seems fairly obvious, one character's name is a much more likely search term than two character's names in a particular order linked by 'and'. Content can be replaced with a redirect without recourse to AfD. Lyrl ^Talk _C 02:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
