# Talk:Rufus (Kim Possible)

We need a better picture for Rufus ... he looks like a little pink blob on Kim's shoulder -- ProveIt 18:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It might be interesting to start a trivia section once someone's gathered a few interesting factoids - here's one to start the list: Rufus was once confused with Experiment 607 from the Lilo and Stitch TV series.
Yeah, I saw that episode, it might be worth mentioning!  =D  Jumping cheese 23:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

This article does not establish real-world notability per WP:FICT, WP:WAF, WP:NOT#PLOT, and WP:N. It also features trivia sections and potential WP:OR. The article need to be merged to a general cast of characters article (formerly known as "character lists"); such articles have a better chance of establishing the substantial real-world info required to show encyclopedic notability. Even the list might not be able to establish such notability, so a "transwiki" to a Kim Possible Wikia or Wikia Annex might be better. Deletion can be used as a last resort. — Deckiller 18:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
