  Oppose deletion. Nelson Lee was a key character in popular fiction in the early 20th century. I have added three references to the Further reading sectionthat attests to this.

  • Turner, ES (1948) Boys Will be Boys History of British boys' weeklies from Victorian times up to the 1950s.
  • Andrew, Lucy (2017) The Boy Detective in Early British Children's Literature. Palgrave. page 96
  • Watt & Green (2017) The Alternative Sherlock Holmes: Pastiches, Parodies and Copies Nml25 (talk) 08:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Oppose deletion. The way it's written might be improved, but it's cited to six reliable secondary sources, so clearly a notable fictional character. --Nicknack009 (talk) 07:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

• Keep deletion rationale makes no sense, no evidence of WP:BEFORE, and one of several similarly unusual deletion nominations by a new editor. Jclemens (talk) 07:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

  I would agree. Very unusual deletion nominations. Feels more like a personal vendetta than someone who has competently assessed the articles' merits. Nml25 (talk) 09:00, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
