Article about a fictional character from the juvenile fantasy novels Warriors series. The author of the article stated it is Fan-Made. The last editor deleted this, including all improvement tags and a PROD. No sources given. Ben Ben (talk) 10:31, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I was originally going to suggest that this get redirected to the page for the list of characters, but I can't really find anything to suggest that this character actually exists within the actual Warriors series. If it does exist, it's likely a minor character overall. In other words, not a major character that would merit a mention in the overall article for clans. There are so many characters in the series as a whole that listing each and every clan member in the character page would be a long and exhaustive process. Stuff like this is better suited for fan wikias and the like. For clarification for people coming in, the series currently spans 30 books. This isn't including the guidebooks, manga volumes, short stories, and unreleased novels- which would bring it closer to about 45-50 books overall (still not including the short stories), if I'm calculating correctly. Many of the arcs focus on a new or different clan, so there's no way that Wikipedia could list each character- there are far too many to list here. And that's assuming that this is a character that shows up in the series at all. The only things I can find for this character are things that suggest that this is a fan made character.

Delete - Zero independent notability. And if Tokyogirl is right, Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 14:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Might as well close this now. No attempt is even made at notability. SOXROX (talk) 14:21, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete I have tagged with speedy delete as a hoax: as a reader who is very familiar with the series, I can assure you said character is certainly not notable: because said character does not exist. Bramble claw x 14:51, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
