Article on a non-notable fictional concept, which is comprised almost entirely of in-universe plot summaries sourced to episode recaps, many of which are not even reliable sources. The only exception to this is the few sentences at the end about the show's development, which itself is already covered at The Originals (TV series)#Production. The actual characters listed here are already covered in a much more succinct format at List of The Originals characters, making this article redundant as a character list. As the concept of the "original vampires" from this franchise is not independently notable from the show itself, this article is an unnecessary spinout, and a general overview of the concept is already adequately described as part of the main article on The Originals (TV series).

Delete. The creator forgot to add any references, and so per WP:V we should forget this article existed. Failure of WP:GNG is an additional problem, and hardly a minor one. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I agree with the above comments. However, Henrik, Mikael, Dahlia, and Esther's information NEEDS to be posted somewhere else. Magik 3099 (talk) 18:53, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
