- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was procedural keep. This is one of many, many character articles that this editor has nominated for deletion in the last few months, 26 in total. They have been warned about doing WP:BEFORE and I do not see where they have actually done this with this article (or any of the others nominated since their warning in September) in the slightest. I'm closing this and opening a merge discussion at Talk:List_of_recurring_Futurama_characters#Merge_Mom, especially as I don't see any evidence of the purported opposition to this merge.

There is very little real world coverage of this character; most of the article is made up of plot summary. Only three references are cited. Notability is not inherited. A merge to List of recurring Futurama characters could work, but there may be opposers. DJ Autagirl ( talk) 17:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- Merge: While the article is decently written, there's not enough sources and she's not even a main character or a character heavily referenced outside of Futurama. Mrmoustache14 ( talk) 17:30, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect or merge to List of recurring Futurama characters#Mom. I think a redirect would be fine, but if someone wants to merge a little bit more of the info, that'd be OK, too. I'm a bit more accepting of top ten lists than other editors, I think, but when it's all just top ten lists, the coverage really isn't there for an independent article. It's not easy to do a search for a character named "mom", so it's possible my Google searches were restricted too much to find some of the coverage, if it exists.

- Note: This is one of a mass of nominations opened by this editor after being specifically warned that they needed to open merge requests before opening an AfD. I see no evidence that they've even remotely looked into doing this, so I'm leaning towards making this a procedural close due to a clear lack of WP:BEFORE.
