Frank the Pug

This character does not assert notability outside the films and cartoon series. It is unlikely that any third party sources will ever talk about it outside of the context of the series, so it has no reason to exist. TTN (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per my comment in Agent K AfD. Intothewoods29 (talk) 23:55, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Provides (minimal) real-world context as suggested by WP:FICTION. --Canley (talk) 00:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article actually gets quite a lot of Google book hits and thus should be kept. --Elisabeth Rogan (talk) 06:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Men in Black (film). The lead and the Animal actor section (although unsourced) may be something for the film article, the rest puts WP:UNDUE weight on plot (WP:NOT#PLOT) and doesn't qualify for a spinout (yet). Would be okay as a search term though.
Seems to be worth a weak keep. Stifle (talk) 16:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I wouldn't have been at all sure, except for the references presented here. But if Stifle thinks an article of this nature notable enough for a weak keep, how can I argue otherwise? DGG (talk) 20:21, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep One of the better-remembered characters in a pair of blockbuster films (and somewhat lesser-known TV show). Press coverage does indeed exist, such as this jokey USA-Today interview. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep based on Starblind's link. Independant sources do exist. Edward321 (talk) 05:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
