The result was redirect to Lexx#Villains. And delete. The "principal character" argument is not supported by the applicable guidelines, so is given less weight. What consensus there is therefore points to not keeping this as a separate article. Sandstein 09:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This does not establish notability independent of Lexx through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Delete - Precedence does not trump policy, and the most basic policy in AfDs is the WP:GNG. To quote: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." There might be other series in which AfDs have been filed on lead characters, and those articles were kept, but in order for to have happened, there needed to have been reliable, third party sources. In this case, I'm not seeing them. As a main character, this person would deserve mention in some capacity in the main article on the series, but without meeting the GNG, it should not be a stand-alone article.
