This fails to establish notability. The editor who removed the PROD cited two sources. I can seem to only access one of them, but "Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia" is a trivial mention that calls the character "Scooby Doo-ish" and nothing else relevant. I'm doubtful that the character has anything more than passing mentions related to the show from what I can see. TTN (talk) 15:22, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Redirect - He could possibly be merged to Wendy and Marvin if people think that article looks salvageable (taking a quick glance at it shows it has similar sourcing problems, but I haven't done a in-depth look as its not the article under nomination). If not, it should probably be Redirected to the main Super Friends article, where he is already mentioned. Rorshacma (talk) 16:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update - Even with the newly added sources, I still don't see this meeting the threshold for an independent article. Most of the added references are either complete plot summary (the "Back Issue!" source is literally just a long, straight recap of an issue of a comic he appeared in) or very brief coverage (the "Saturday Morning Fever" book only mentions him in a couple of sentences, and mostly just to describe what he was). I still think that merging to one of the broader articles is the better option here. Rorshacma (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with the way it is? If anything it just needs updated. Wonder Dog has been in a lot of other things since this was last updated. Why delete it? That makes no sense. --Noah Tall (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It currently fails WP:GNG. It needs real world information from reliable sources. The one source added to the article seems to be trivial coverage and the others are primary. TTN (talk) 21:08, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with the statement above that this simply needs to be updated, not deleted. The article includes reliable sources now and there are others available that could be added... — Hunter Kahn 12:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I've added some sources so far, and there's another that I'm going to add -- The Ultimate Super Friends Companion, vol 1: The 1970s -- which I'll be able to get my hands on in a couple days. -- Toughpigs (talk) 13:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I also think it's possible to Merge this with Wendy and Marvin, and rename to Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. It would probably make a stronger article overall. -- Toughpigs (talk) 17:32, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, that was exactly my thoughts. Neither this, nor Wendy and Marvin are great articles on their own, but creating an article on the trio as a whole would make a better, more complete article. Rorshacma (talk) 16:59, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge. Pure WP:PLOT, not seeing any analysis or such. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:47, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the brief development info to either Wendy and Marvin (a bad and maybe not keep-worthy article itself) or to List of Super Friends members#Wendy and Marvin. It's almost all plot (WP:NOTPLOT) and trivial appearance info, not a good basis for a stand-alone article. – sgeureka ^t•c 23:25, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename Wendy and Marvin about all three of the trios. Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 06:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
