There is already an article for this subject, Santa Claus's reindeer, so we don't need this article. The new material here is dubious and only appears to be supported by unreliable sources. Bennyhui (talk) 10:59, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non notable reindeer. Redirect to main article (Santa Claus's reindeer) Peter.C • talk 11:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A seperate article for each reindeer is totally unecessary. Redirect to main Santa Claus's reindeer--Korruski^Talk 12:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non notable reindeer. Totally unnecessary to have a separate article. Redirect to main article at Santa Claus's reindeer. -- Brangifer (talk) 14:48, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Santa Claus's reindeer. Should we also merge Olive, the Other Reindeer? If there were an article on "Adolf the brown nosed reindeer, who could run as fast as Rudolf, but had trouble stopping it could be merged too.) Edison (talk) 21:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, we shouldn't redirect Olive - because Olive is the subject of a book and a film, an honor granted to no other reindeer except Rudolph. Those two can stand on their own, the other eight should be merged/redirected. --MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any reliably sourced material to Santa Claus's reindeer and redirect. Rlendog (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge this and all the articles about Santa Claus's reindeer and redirect as the person above said. Turnstitle (talk) 16:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - And to those advocating a merge, what exactly is there to merge? Note that WikiAnswers is not a reliable source so the article's verifiable content is essentially that Dasher is one of Santa's reindeer which is pretty much covered by Santa Claus's reindeer. -- Whpq (talk) 17:31, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
