  • Changing to Keep Central character in a series that has won several awards, including two Nebula Awards. Edward321 (talk) 02:54, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• merge or keep Any significant character in a notable work should get a one or two paragraph description. If it's a sufficiently major character, it should get an article. We're here to provide encyclopedic information--and if the main work is worth covering in the first place, people are likely to want some degree of detail. Why else would you use an encyclopedia in the first place, if you didn't want detailed coverage? And, there is certainly no valid reason why there should not at least be a redirect. Anything anyone might want to look up should have a redirect if there's relevant content in Wikipedia. DGG (talk) 00:50, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - not notable in real world, only to plot. WP:WAF and WP:NOT#PLOT. These articles about minor characters from the same series could have been combined. Savidan 17:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL shows, no real world notability, no scholarly analyses, no internet buzz even. Abductive (talk) 20:59, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Those above have already mentioned some great reasons to keep it. If the series is notable, then all the major characters in it are notable enough to have their own articles. Dream Focus 21:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't believe that is a guideline or policy on Wikipedia. There is, however, a policy WP:NOT#PLOT, which this article violates. Abductive (talk) 21:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
