Artie (character)[edit]

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) 15:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - for the same reasons as in the Paula (character) nomination. TTN, would you mind if we combined the nominations? I have also reordered the AfD page to put the two nominations together. - Richard Cavell (talk) 16:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, but don't combine the nominations. Artie is one of the three major characters on the show, whereas Paula was a minor one. He's praised in Time magazine ("the most terrifyingly unctuous producer ever to stalk a green room")[1] and every review of the show I've seen mentions him (and Hank). Rip Torn won one Emmy and was nominated for a second for his performance. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keepon the basis of the emmy. That';s sufficient, and, because of it there will be enough sources. DGG (talk) 18:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
