[edit] Rico (Hannah Montana)

Rico (Hannah Montana) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This supporting character from the Hannah Montana Disney show lacks independent, third party sources to prove his Wikipedia-level notability. I tried to do a Google search, found nothing but fan forums, and even those mention him only incidentally. AnteaterZot (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep: But I am a bit conflicted about this. By the guidelines this article cannot be justified. The other main character articles for Hannah Montana are potentially justified as there is significant press coverage of most of the main cast actors, but the character coverage is somewhat in passing. We have reliable primary sources of information for this article, the episodes themselves. Little or no coverage in secondary sources. Some coverage in unreliable sources. So we do have sources of reliable information that is WP:V verifiable and we do have notability, but not by secondary sources as suggested by WP:N. A List of Hannah Montana main characters article could be justified to include all the main characters as a partition off the main article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NrDg (talk • contribs) 00:02, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I support list-of-character type articles rather than the proliferation of individual pages. If fans of shows would agree to make such list articles and deletionists would agree to not nominate such lists for deletion, a great deal of the rancor and AfD time-wasting could be avoided.

  • Delete, supporting character from show, page is full of original research, but no sources beyond episodes of the show. When a character doesn't have a last name, it typically means they aren't important. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 05:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Fee Fi Foe Fum. StewieGriffin123 (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
