The result was keep. The LA Times blog source is written by their culture-journalist-thingamabob guy, so I think that lends quite a bit of notability; the Attack of the Show one helps too. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :)  05:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Athene (MovieLOL)

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

Seems to be a non-notable character in a non-notable Internet movie. Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Chardish (talk) 19:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as A7 / non-notable web content. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 *  Weak Keep Based on the sources of media coverage provided in the article. -Brougham96 (talk) 21:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

**comment A7 would apply (db-web), as the "claim" is referenced only on Youtube. There is no other claim or source, thus, speedy isn't required, but is a valid solution. P HARMBOY ( TALK ) 02:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: The character's movie was certainly not very notable, but the character "Athene" is indeed quite a popular and well-known person from the gaming world. His video series in Youtube have achieved high ratings and a series of fans. In other words, you cannot judge the character by simply the failed internet movie, but rather the character is famous for his series in Youtube. In fact, I think that he has even started a political group in Belgium. In other words, I am not in favor of deleting this article.--MarshalN20 (talk) 21:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * SPEEDY DELETE Fictional character in a Youtube "series".  Holy cow.  wp:n at best, db:web would be better.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 21:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete via WP:CSD, non-notable web content. Should of just put a csd tag on it. RockManQ (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It should probably be noted that WP:CSD states that an article qualifys if it "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability". This article at least makes a claim to notability, weather it is valid or not. So speedy delete seems to not apply here. -Brougham96 (talk) 01:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If you look the External links section, it does reference other third party sources, including the LA times, and a newspaper in Belgium. -Brougham96 (talk) 12:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The external links section does reference the LA Times and a Belgian newspaper. Therefore, it does have valid sources other than Youtube.--MarshalN20 (talk) 13:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Change Delete to Neutral I don't speak Vlamish, so the Belgian links are difficult to judge (giving partial benefit of doubt). The LA Times is on their blog, not general publication.  I still think this is incredibly weak at best, but will withdraw my delete and stay neutral.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 13:54, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
