unreferenced, non-notable  —Chris Capoccia  T&#8260;C 18:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep To this day, Blake's 7 has a strong fan following. The information in the article can easily be cited from the series per WP:WAF. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  18:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * did you actually read WP:WAF? the second paragraph says, "When an article is created, the subject's real-world notability should be established according to the general notability guideline by including independent reliable secondary sources."  —Chris Capoccia  T&#8260;C 19:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you? Under the heading "Primary and secondary information" it reads: "Even with strict adherence to the real-world perspective, writing about fiction always includes using the original fiction itself as a source." This article is an offshoot of Blake's 7, whose notability is not in question. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  19:57, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * so where are the citations to specific episodes (primary sources) or secondary sources? both are expected and this article has none of either. —Chris Capoccia  T&#8260;C 20:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. But deleting the article solves nothing. I'd have done it by now, but it's been too long since I've seen the show. It needs editing, not deleting. It is not unsalvageable. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  23:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It makes little sense to pick out this one article -- out of all the articles on B7 -- for deletion. It does make a lot of sense to reference the article properly, which I will try to work on in the next few weeks or soHal 10000.0 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:13, 12 May 2009 (UTC).

 * Keep, as the article has quickly satisfied my criteria for deletion and has met the Heymann Standard. —   pd_THOR  undefined | 16:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep highly notable main character of notable TV series - and it only had a few characters. Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Change original nomination from Delete to Keep there have been enough improvements to this article, especially by A Nobody to meet notability requirements, and the article should be kept. I retract my original nomination. —Chris Capoccia  T&#8260;C 09:19, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
