- Undecided, but if the decision is not to keep, redirect to
Beverly Cleary, the author who created these characters.Ramona (novel series), per Schazjmd below. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC) - Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Fictional elements-related deletion discussions.

- Merge to Ramona (novel series). The barely-used NPR source can improve the Ramona's characterization section in that article. (The NPR source is all about the character, but one source isn't sufficient for a stand-alone article.) Schazjmd (talk) 00:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
