A non-notable rehashing of the information in the main article. It could be noteworthy if the article were a cited discussion of the view of third parties, or a history of the characters' development, but this is not the case THobern 14:31, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Redirect/Smerge to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy#Plot where this character life is already discussed in detail. Interestingly, Will Ferrell has taken his character into the real world, as for-instance evidenced by Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) appearing as a guest anchor in the MTV Newsroom.[1] The character has also appeared at sports events, such as a Caps game.[2] And lest we forget, Burgundy came back in the direct-to-video Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie... however, I do not think we have enough for a separate (specially if unsourced) article on the topic.

Merge and Redirect to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy#Plot. Without any information on character development, non-Anchorman appearances, and any other real-world information, this article violates WP:NOTPLOT. I assume it could be saved by adding real-world information, if anyone has the time to do so, can find the information, and is willing. Unfortunately, I do not have said time in the foreseeable future. RedSoxFan2434 (talk) 01:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to the movie. Completely redundant. Everything about him is in the plot, and most of everything in the plot is about him. Same thing with the actual reception of the movie versus the reception of the character: they're one and the same, and not just because the movie is called "Anchorman".
