This character does not establish notability independent of its series through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement. TTN (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as for the other non-principal characters in this cartoon series to an article for them all. Individual ones in such a list need not be Notable--there is no such requirement for indiviual items of article content. No reason given applies as an objection to this--suitable descriptive content can come from the fiction itself. As for keeping a separate article, at this point it does not really make sense until there are some kind of sources. Lets work towards a compromise on these. I am reluctant to consider every character in every show individually here, if we can get a general rule. What gets a combination article, what a separate one, is basically just a matter of organization. To call it notability is a misunderstanding of what N ought to be used for. The idea of a "separate article" being a big deal one way or another for closely related topics is very PRINTY. And, in any case, to use an argument for deletion indicating nothing whatever about the particular article involved is not very helpful--some of those nominating such characters do better than this.

I came back here to see if there were any comments and I found someone at an ip address had decided to redirect the article before it got closed, so I reverted it. . Redirect is not = merge, and it looks like we need a longer discussion. DGG (talk) 05:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Evidently, this person at said ip address enjoys deleting articles as much as TTN does. And while Brittany Taylor is far from the main character, she's just enough of a supporting character to have a separate article, so I say. ----DanTD (talk) 05:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not sure the character meets the necessary threshold, but it's arguable. Many of these characters including Daria herself were part of another show first. Is there any harm in letting her live on as her own page and see if something comes of her? She seems fairly notable, though mostly as part of the main show. (I changed the formatting of the comment above mine to better show their vote).ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge this and all the other character articles into List of characters in Daria. Article as is is essentially just an extended plot summary. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 00:10, 8 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Merge Seems like the right decision at this time. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:18, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
