Auraya of the White

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

This character does not establish notability independent of Age of the Five through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * Then tag it as "Unreferenced". Apparently it's a "main character that spans multiple works". So Keep as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(fiction)#Characters Laurent paris (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * First, WP:FICT is a proposed guideline and thus toothless for the moment, so citing it is the equivalent of citing an essay. Next you're heavily misconstruing the intent of the section, which is to indicate that main characters in works are the ones that tend to get articles; it does not give editors carte blanche to create articles on all main characters for every work because many are simply not notable. In any case, from FICT:
 * "Real world information: the subject must contain information aside from plot. Real-world information means that the article has content about the development of the subject, its influences, its design, and critical, commercial, or cultural impact. Sources not independent of the subject, such as developer commentary, may be used in accordance with the policy on self-published sources to provide some of the above information. Articles are expected to conform to an out-of-universe perspective, according to the writing about fiction guideline."
 * There's zilch, nada, zero in terms of any real-world content here. Please don't misrepresent stuff in the future, especially FICT, which has been carved out through compromises from discussion that have gone on through months, and I would hate for their work to be misused in this fashion. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 11:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

 * merge. Content does not need to be deleted, rather remade into one or more comprehensive Age of the Five article(s). -- Mvuijlst (talk) 21:53, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete – no assertion of notability via significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the topic. No opposition to a merge to the appropriate place. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 11:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect: So as to save the article's content. I too would not oppose a merging of this article, it just needs to have a place to be merged too. Ryan 4314   (talk) 05:49, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as in-universe cruft with no notability. Eusebeus (talk) 23:48, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable due to coverage in reliable sources. Passes WP:FICT and "cruft" is never a valid reason for deletion.  Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 00:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
