Orville Simpson

The grandfather of a fictional character. --Carnildo 08:52, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• April 16,1989-December 17, 1986. Cool, he died three years before he was born. Delete because the time travel implications have warped my fragile little mind. RickK 08:54, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Fictional Simpsons characters are only notable when something useful can be told about them. Delete unless seriously expanded. Mgm|^(talk) 09:03, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as minor character, onto List of Simpsons characters. Radiant_* 09:09, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge either to list of Simpsons characters or Abraham Simpson. Capitalistroadster 10:25, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Abraham Simpson. --Henrygb 10:47, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge --Haham hanuka 12:25, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into list of Simpsons characters. Shimmin 18:18, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect into either List of Simpsons characters or Abraham Simpson (either is fine by me, whichever Simpsons minutia buffs think more relevent). -- Infrogmation 19:32, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and list as substub. The Simpsons is a large project on Wikipedia. Hedley 03:18, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • If that means we'll be deluged with permanent substubs, then maybe we should be having the VfD on the project, instead. --Carnildo 03:49, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • If its listed as a substub a Simpsons contributor would attend to it. Hedley 15:47, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redir. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:47, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I know this is probably closed by now, unfortunately I didn't see it before...but is there actually an Orville Simpson? Simspons' characters are very frequently invented by anonymous vandals, and this one may have slipped through somehow. I don't think I know ever character ever mentioned, but whenever I am suspcious that a certain character does not exist, it usually turns out that some idiot anon made it up. I've removed the references to Orville but I haven't deleted the redirect in case I am mistaken. Adam Bishop 17:52, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
