 * Keep Characters from media deserve to stay in WP if someone takes the trouble to write them up -- Ruby  15:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with I, Robot. Notable. BrianGCrawfordMA 20:16, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep is this fictional character really any different to Frodo Baggins or Romeo and Juliet or even Laa-Laa from the tellytubbies? Jcuk 23:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The Three Laws of Robotics is a recurring theme of Asimov's work and the developer of these laws would meet WP:FICT. However, the fact that our article on the Three Laws of Robotics doesn't mention him at all causes me some concern. He is a charcter in the movie but is he in Asimov's book/s. The answer to that will determine whether I vote to Keep and Expand or merge with I Robot. Capitalistroadster 00:07, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with I, Robot or Three Laws of Robotics. Latter article already includes lines such as 'In his short story "Evidence", Asimov lets his recurring character Dr. Susan Calvin expound a moral basis behind the Laws.' Unless Lanning shows considerable character development, or is more generally used to reference the Laws (like Romeo and Juliet, etc, are used as cultural refs), then a similar sentence re Lanning would suffice.
