- Speedy delete, crush by giant rat. -- B.d.mills (Talk) 13:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Deleted, but replace with redirect to Rat, or maybe to Ultima where it's a common enemy. Radiant_* 14:07, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
- ?"of Sumatra" -- Holmes reference; ? common (Low power) foe in RPGs; ? "Rodent of Unusual Size" -- Princess Bride; ? terrier sized rats in Fleet River, London. The deleted text may have been offensive, but sure there is at least a potential disambuiguation here, for people looking the phrase up. --Simon Cursitor 07:13, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I have completely redone the article, focusing on the Holmes versions. Surprised we do not have an article yet on Sherlockiana. The original text, including the VfD notice, was apparently deleted, as it was decided (rightly IMO) to not be worth the fuss of voting over. If a new notice is needed in this case, someone should supply it. -- Smerdis of Tlön 16:05, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep the new version. Grue 18:04, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, keep the new version. Orange Goblin 18:14, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as rewritten. Excellent job by all involved. -- BD2412 thimkact 22:59, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
