Fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for fictional characters. Neelix (talk) 17:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - one of two or three major characters on a hit Fox TV show. I don't get the nominator's rationale. Bearian (talk) 23:10, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per above. Gage (talk) 01:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Main character on a notable television show. Dream Focus 06:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Nomination is probably on the basis that the article doesn't cite any reliable independent sources, and thus either (a) contains no verifiable information, or (b) contains so little verifiable information that it would be more appropriately redirected to List of The Cleveland Show characters. I don't suppose you feel like digging up some reliable, independent sources that discuss Donna Tubbs, rather than just The Cleveland Show, DreamFocus? The article also has the problem of containing little or no information from a real world perspective. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as nominator - While it is true that this article does not demonstrate that there is significant coverage of Donna Tubbs in reliable, independent sources, the main issue is that such coverage does not exist. Notability is not inherited; just because a media franchise is sufficiently notable for its own article does not mean that even its protagonist is also sufficiently notable for its own article. Neelix (talk) 14:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no significant coverage in independent sources. WP:NOTINHERITED applies here. Claritas § 16:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Per alll above me. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 03:54, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep seems to have potential. No prejudice against re-nominating or merging if the article remains shows no signs of improvement. Shooterwalker (talk) 04:33, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above, she is a main character. CTJF83 pride 05:04, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Editors are saying "Keep" but no one is addressing the primary concern that this character is not individually notable. Being a major character in a particular television series is not an assertion of notability; Ben Matlock of Matlock and Jeannie of I Dream of Jeannie are both the protagonists of their respective television series, but they are not sufficiently individually notable to justify their own articles.
