I'd have just redirected it due to total failure at WP:GNG, but the prior AfD had a comment by User:DGG, whom I respect a lot, and if he thinks this is a notable character, well, 10 years later I'd love to hear yours (and anyone else's who wanders to this discussion) thoughts on this. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:57, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Riverworld. I don't see a lot of analysis of this character. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:14, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep very notable series, a notable character as the authorial voice, and an indication of sources talking about it, tho not cited. They should be found.--there's a lot of literature about the author, and some of it probably discusses this. However, I admit I do not have the time to do this myself.

- I looked at sources, but I can't see any extensive analysis. A few sources do note he is his alter-ego, yes, but if there is any discussion-in-depth, as much as a single para on this, I haven't found it yet. I would be fine with merge and redirect, but I just don't see enough (either content or notability) for a stand-alone article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:47, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there are any number of book references The Magic Labyrinth (but not the third Riverworld book of a similar title), Voices for the Future, The Devil gets his Due, Solar Flares, The Transcendent Adventure, Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature talking about how PJF is PJF: That Frigate is Farmer's stand-in in the Riverworld series. The analysis then seems to focus on Farmer rather than his thinly-veiled substitute character. I'd still call that enough to meet GNG. Jclemens (talk) 00:28, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to the series article; not notable independently from it. Sandstein 05:22, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
