The official site hereOfficina (talk) 03:08, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's even a page on Wikipedia here and several pages regard its characters, so I don't understand why this page need to be deleted.

Delete. The character does not seem notable, and the article for the show cites no resources. Even if the show is notable, that does not mean that every character in the show is, too. Unles some good sources are found, the article should go. Howicus (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The character is one of the main protagonists of the show, she had a cameo in the last episode of the second season presented as a character with a key role in the story, but she starts to have major screen time in the fourth season (the latest one). My article doesn't have many resource because all the info can be found watching the last two seasons that I have already linked above. A subbed english version can be found on youtube but since is not official I din't give the link. Anyway, on the wiki list character of qin's moon page she's enlisted as a protagonist here so I thought it was good to give her a personal page, but I didn't image it would turn so complicated. This is her Baidu page and it's said "《秦时明月》中的女性角色之一" "One of the female lead". This is her baidu tieba. Officina (talk) 07:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think is a little stupid that the reason of the deletion is the notability of the show and even more of the character.

Firstly I thought Wikipedia was an encyclopedia not the book of fame.

Secondly I thing I already demostrate the notability of the show, but if it's not enought then on Crunchyroll(A streaming site of japanese anime) there's the first season. Qin's moon is Crunchyroll first and i think only chinese anime.

And the last but not the least, how can I prove the importance of a character? That's impossibile, you need to watch the show to determinate if a character is important or not.

That's all I had nothing to say anymore, If you're not convinced yet then delete it. Salute! Officina (talk) 07:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - actually, we don't need to have watched the show. We need to have seen reliable sources that verify article contents and notability. We haven't yet, so as far as we can tell, the subject fails our general notability guidelines. Stalwart111 10:42, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
