The result was speedy keep. I'm closing as Speedy Keep per SK1 as 1. Nominator hasn't searched for anything and 2. AFD isn't a clean up solution! (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 00:13, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A robust, good-faith nomination might have mentioned the possibility of a merge and redirest to List of minor characters in the Matrix series and that this was one of a series of related nominations. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Many of the Matrix characters nominated in this group probably belong on the list, but I think there's plenty of evidence that Neo is a notable archetype. "Neo" is not the easiest name to search, but, for example, the exploratory search phrase "like Neo in the Matrix" yields 100+ hits in GNews and 70+ in GScholar as well as lots of suggestive results in Google and GBooks. A few specific examples of substantive discussion of the character's symbolism or relevance to concepts outside the film: [1][2][3]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:06, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there is lots of content in google about this topic. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:47, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because the character is notable, and the article can be improved through editing. AfD is not for cleanup. Erik II (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:45, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
