Merge useful content to List of Honorverse Characters per WP:ATD. Jclemens (talk) 06:51, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Jclemens. We don't delete articles about characters in highly notable works like this one; if they aren't independently notable enough for an article we merge them. That's standard practice, and I don't see why an AFD is needed for this one, which is a pretty clear case. JulesH (talk) 10:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and then discuss whether or not to merge at the appropriate talk page. I';d support the merge, probably. As Jules correctly says, if they're not important enough as separate characters, combination articles preserving content are the way to go. The only real problem is that the combination articles may then be deleted--as is currently being attempted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Treecat, and then the articles about the characters as a group, and all reduced to bare lists of names. I cannot tell if this string of nominations against characters and character groups in this fiction is a statement that the fiction as a whole in not important enough for detailed coverage (about which I have no real opinion), or whether no fiction at all should get detailed coverage. If the latter, its the attempt of a small group to wear down the opposition.DGG (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fictional character with insufficient independent coverage to sufficiently establish notabilty outside of the context of the work of fiction the character inhabits.Bali ultimate (talk) 18:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- a merge is not the way to go because this person is already mentioned in sufficient depth at the proposed target article, and there is no sourced and encyclopedic content to be salvaged. Reyk _YO! 22:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
