Boy in the Striped Pajamas (characters)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article about the characters of the book. By the way, it is misspelled, the book title is "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". There are no sources at all. wp:GNG requires reliable sources to prove the notability of the subject. The notability of the book is apparent, but I don't see any evidence to prove that the book characters are separately notable. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:00, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * With regard to the spelling, the book appears to have both American ("Pajamas") and British ("Pyjamas") editions. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:36, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge I totally agree, this article is in no way a stand-alone. If anything it should be added as a section to the The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas page, if necessary for that page. Otherwise, it should be deleted entirely. Abroham1024 (talk) 17:45, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge - Something like this, being unsourced, skirts the edge of NO ORIGINAL RESEARCH. Honest people may differ on whether it actually is. My view is that so long as the information is accurate, it's perfectly mergeable. Clearly fails WP:GNG as a stand-alone article an in-universe list of characters about whom there is no substantial independently published coverage. Carrite (talk) 15:40, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
