Agent K

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This character does not assert notability outside the films and cartoon series. It is unlikely that any third party sources will ever talk about it outside of the context of the series, so it has no reason to exist. TTN (talk) 19:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Men in Black (comics) Men in Black (film) as it doesn't satisfy notability, as it doesn't provide any real-world info. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  20:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - we have in-world articles about characters in novels, so why not have an article about a main character in a large film franchise? Intothewoods29 (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Provides (minimal) real-world context as suggested by WP:FICTION. --Canley (talk) 00:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Lead characters in fiction franchises are notable. In this case this is a character who led two major motion pictures and a highly regarded television series. 23skidoo (talk) 05:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (Delete and) redirect to Men in Black (film). Violates WP:NOT in its purest form and is not needed as a spinout at this time (plot is already summarized in the film articles). Would be okay as a search term though. – sgeureka t•c
 * Keep He's one of the two major characters in the major fictional series. All reviews should provide some discussion of his role. Principal characters in major fiction are notable. DGG (talk) 20:16, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as per DGG. Edward321 (talk) 04:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree that the character is notable. There is plenty of coverage of the character in reliable secondary sources.  Men in Black (film) has spawned a TV series, novels, a sequel, and a video game.  Because of the bounty of popularity and spin-offs, there is a "likelihood of expansion," and because of the secondary sources, I don't believe the article "requires excessive plot detail and in-universe information" (per WP:FICTION). --ColorOfSuffering (talk) 09:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
