Also nominating:

• Bungle (Rainbow)
• Zippy (Rainbow)

These characters has been the subject of barely any reliable SIGCOV. Bungle has one Den of Geek source but that is it. I could not find anything for the other two. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:40, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge very lightly into parent article. Only meaningful content seems to be some mild (humorous) confusion over what Zippy is supposed to be and his subsequent appearances in other media. Dronebogus (talk) 20:20, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge all to Rainbow (TV series) seems appropriate, there is a mix of information not in the main article. (slight lean toward keep for the moment, with a possible alternate merge destination see below) —siroχo 22:28, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge selectively. There is slight coverage to
  WP:SIGCOV for a separate article. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:19, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Merge all to
  WP:GNG. Climbing High: Life Under the Rainbow Exposed and Rainbow Unzipped: The Shocking Truth about Zippy, George and Bungle - In Their Own Words appear to be humorous rather than factual. Please ping me if good sources are identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:39, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

• Comment They're certainly not good articles but there are a few untapped sources. There is some coverage of the actors/puppeteers (particularly Bungle but also Zippy)[1][2][3][4][5] - and Stanley Bates has his own article so no need for duplication there. Also the press has published a bit on the costumes/puppets[6][7]. But merging is probably OK unless someone wants to actually expand the articles. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:43, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm still not super familiar with this show and it's place in culture, but it seems as if the things around the show (like these puppets) are indeed meeting GNG. I'm slightly leaning toward keep but for now will just retract my bolded merge !vote. What do you think about something like a Characters of Rainbow article as a merge destination for all 3, that can hold the existing coverage in the existing articles, as well the new coverage you've found? I'm open to other ideas as well. —siroχo 19:20, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
