The result was redirect to Sledge Hammer!. just enough consensus - but also it is virtually the same thing then what is mentionned in the Sledge Hammer thus no real additionnal info in the now redirected article JForget 21:47, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Trunk

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:INUNIVERSE fansite article about a television character who has no sourced indication of notability outside the short-lived series he existed in. Was tagged for prod, but deprodded with no explanation or improvement provided. No need for a whole article about this. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 08:32, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Significant topic and plenty of potential for expansion. Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 23:18, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Significant how? Bearcat (talk) 04:46, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Significant in that Sledge Hammer! is one of the greatest television shows in history. Donald Schroeder JWH018 (talk) 05:33, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're certainly entitled to believe that on your own time. In an encyclopedia, however, we require reliable sources for such a claim. Bearcat (talk) 04:10, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence of significance. Even if the TV series is THE greatest in history it does nothing to WP:verify notability or significance of this character. Failure to WP:PROVEIT that this is a notable character due to a lack of third party sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:02, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to Sledge Hammer!, which has almost exactly the same content. At this stage I think there may be a case for the title character's significance, but while Captain Trunk may have played an important role in the series, Trunk doesn't seem to have been significant enough to warrant a separate article. - Bilby (talk) 13:17, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
