Bad boy (archetype)

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

What looks like a cross between a dictionary definition and original research/essay. Initial prod removed by author without any reason given.  Web H amster  23:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There was indeed a reason given, on the talk page. The "bad boy" archetype occurs rather commonly in fiction and in real life, and sources have been cited. We might also simply redirect to List_of_heroic_stock_characters, though. Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 02:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That list article is awful and, in any case, should just be a list rather than a prose article like this. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Nomination made with undue haste. The topic has much potential. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, unless there is another article on bad boys already in existence. Fee Fi Foe Fum (talk) 00:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
