Fictional character that fails WP:NFICTION, WP:GNG and WP:PLOT. Deprodded by User:Necrothesp with "significant figure in Lovecraft's work". Sigh. So what? That's not a sufficient criteria to keep a stand-alone article. Let's discuss. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:49, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. As I said, significant character in the works of a major author and his followers. Sigh! -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:58, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

- WP:ITSIMPORTANT is not a great argument. Can you try better? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Celephaïs. There is very little in the way of reliable sources discussing the character. He is mentioned very briefly in a few scholarly articles about Lovecraft's work, but the content about him in those tends to fall to one-sentence summaries describing the story he originated form. I don't know how likely of a search term it is, but since redirects are cheap, redirecting this to the story that is his origin and of which he is the focus of makes sense.

- Redirect to "Celephaïs" While An H.P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia has a section on Kuranes, it is merely a summary of "Celephaïs" and of Kuranes's appearance in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.[1] ―Susmuffin Talk 02:14, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails NFICTION/GNG. Pure PLOT. Necrothesp does not advance a valid AfD argument. Kacper IV (talk) 09:40, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
