• Delete. Apologies, I had nominated several articles related to the The Podge and Rodge Show but obviously didn't get the nomination process right. If you check Category:Podge and Rodge there are twelve articles that probably all belong in one; certainly several are fail WP:NOTE when looked at separately, eg.
• Ballydung
• Ballydung 666
• Ballydung Manor
• Fester and Ailin'

There are also three main articles on the show

• Podge and Rodge
• The Podge and Rodge Show
• Features of The Podge and Rodge Show

and there are other miscellaneous articles such as

• A Scare at Bedtime which is a combination of a list of dozens of red links embedded in yet another version of the Podge and Rodge article.

There are about five more articles which should either be deleted or merged into a single Podge and Rodge article. (Sarah777 22:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC))

• Strong keep, these are parodies of Foster & Allen, two people well-known in Ireland for dressing up as leprauchauns and shaming the nation live on British television. They have featured primarily in A Scare at Bedtime but also in early editions of The Podge and Rodge Show. It could do with a bit of work though and maybe some referencing. --Candlewicke Consortiums Limited 19:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

*Comment: Note that the person who put the AfD tag on the article didn't give a reason here. This should be closed unless she can come back to explain why she thinks it should be deleted. Corvus cornix 21:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete Ballydung, Ballydung 666 and Ballydung Manor as completely real-world nonnotable. Week merge or delete Fester and Ailin' to one of the main article. Neutral about the three main articles and A Scare at Bedtime as I don't know the show. Tagging them with {{merge}} may do the job there. – sgeureka ^t•c 21:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete There should not be a myriad of short articles about a single subject. It's better to consolidate and merge into the main article. lk 23:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete
• Ballydung
• Ballydung 666
• Ballydung Manor

I've an open mind about whether the "main" articles should be merged; not really being a TV person I've only seen snatches of R'n'P and didn't realise they were such cultural or cultish treasures! (At least by some folks reckoning) (Sarah777 00:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC))

• Comment This AfD is a little problematic: these articles were already discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ballydung 666, but there is another AfD still open regarding the Ballydung article. (This AfD nomination was originally made on November 1, but DumbBOT did not complete the nomination until November 5.) I merged Ballydung, Ballydung 666, and Ballydung Manor into Podge and Rodge, before I realised that more AfDs were open. Bláthnaid 11:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge, to main R'n'P article.--Vintagekits 11:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - check Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ballydung 666; this has closed with a decision to merge
• Ballydung
• Ballydung 666
• Ballydung Manor

into R'n'P main articles. (Sarah777 15:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC))

• Merge to Features of The Podge and Rodge Show, per consensus at previous AfD. Terraxos 18:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
• Replace with a redirect. Don't need an AFD to do it. --kingboyk 14:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
