Non-notable fictional character. {{nofootnotes}} and {{prod}} removed by User:71.108.52.19, so listing at AfD. Mikeblas 05:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - see other Forgotten Realms nominations TaintedZebra 11:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Unreferenced, in-universe style, fails WP:N. To have a Wikipedia article, a fictional character should have been discussed in independent and reliable sources beyond the work of fiction itself. Edison 13:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 13:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge — Main character in a widely-released fictional series. Could be merged into an article on Return of the Archwizards. — RJH (talk) 15:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions. —Quasirandom 15:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and Merge Again with the nominations. I agree with TaintedZebra. This one needs cleaned up, possibly re-written and categorized. scope_creep 16:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge. Main character in a published trilogy of books by a notable author. Definitely not a deletion target. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep major Realms character --Polaron | Talk 16:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:Plot.Ridernyc 21:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Ridernyc is a single-purpose-only account that has not contributed anything to Wikipedia. The only thing it does is trying to get articles deleted; see Special:Contributions/Ridernyc.--Usingroute 02:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I've blocked Usingroute as an obvious sockpuppet account. If you want to critisize someone elses contributions do it with you own account. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 02:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
      • yeah I'm single purpose account, whatever you say. You might want to check out my work on articles such as Concept Album, devo, and the Residents. Just because I don't like people ignoring WP:Plot and there are hundreads if not thousands of articles to remove as a result has nothing to with my intention to edit articles. Maybe if people would stop ignoring policies when creating articles other I could spend more time improving articles. Let's leave out personal attacks and talk about policy. Ridernyc 05:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:FICT. Doctorfluffy 05:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Rename would be better as an article on the Return of the Archwizards trilogy which doesn't seem to have one. Colonel Warden 11:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

and renaming it would make it conform to policy in what way exactly.? Ridernyc 18:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as this in universe article does not cite reliable sources to demonstrate notability of this fictional character outside the books in which he is featured. --Gavin Collins 22:53, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
• delete per Edison, who puts it so succintly that his comment should be at the top of the notability guideline page. "To have a Wikipedia article, a fictional character should have been discussed in independent and reliable sources beyond the work of fiction itself. Edison, 2007."
