Fictional character introduced in Fox promos earlier this year. Official site gone, no references from after April. Fails notability requirements. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 17:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom; not notable. Shalom Hello 17:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep advertising character for a big-4 TV network. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - also per nom. The "official page" doesn't exist and whether he was briefly used as a Fox promotion or not, I don't see how it's notable. Douglasmtaylor T/C 00:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • KeepThis character was featured in the New York Times on May the 14th. It aired on Fox TV for two weeks in April during prime time. The idea was to introduce brief programs into the commercial breaks to try to lure people into watching the commercials. This approach was very innovative so much so that other TV networks have followed this idea and now we can see brief scenes of movies that have not been released in the commercial breaks or commercials that have to do with movies like the Simpsons. I do not see why it should be erased. It was a brief TV show (only 60 8 second episodes were aired)but it was a TV show nonetheless. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.178.109.72 (talk • contribs) 17:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
