This article fails WP:N and other notability guidelines. It is probably better suited for a site like Wikia, or another fandom. Wikipedia is not an "indiscriminate collection of information," it is an online encyclopedia that does not need this kind of article.

Procedural keep The account who created this nom, Weird dan (talk · contribs), has this nom as their only contribution; outside of forgetting to sign the nom, that they seem to know how to work AfD already is a big red flag to me, and the nomination comes of as an WP:UGLY case of I don't like it. Please expand on the reason for nomination and declare any past accounts you may have, Weird dan, or else this is a WP:SPA account designed only to delete this article (which we wouldn't do in full any ways, as List of Gossip Girl characters exists).

Keep This is definitely a troll account from somebody who doesn't like the character. lmao KingSkyLord (talk) 18:03, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article could definitely use work, but there appears to be enough coverage from third-party, reliable sources to satisfy WP:Notability. Aoba47 (talk) 20:55, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
