Establishes no claim to notability for this character, and does not provide substantial third-party references to establish notability. This character isn't widely documented or studied in the arts, and therefore is not notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Listing for AfD per WP:NFICT.

 * Comment What exactly is "WP:NFICT"... it seems to be a non-existant page, and accordingly you can't nominate for deletion "per this!"Johnson8776 (talk) 06:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is an article about a principle character in an internationally broadcast television drama; it is absurd to suggest that it isn't notable because it "isn't studied in the arts". As the drama series has its own project notability isn't in question. Numerous other Wikipedia article also link to this article. Article is well referenced, and should not have been nominated, this is just tying up AFD time.andi064 T . C 09:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The principal character in an important series. That ought ot be enough justification, but it would be highly advisable to gind and add secondary references to her character and role in the plot from whatever published criticism there may already be. all such shows are discussed, though the sources are not always the ones we are used to using.
