Reliable sources exist that show that someone did, in fact, create this character, but that does not automatically mean that there should be a Wikipedia article about it. Appears to be a flash in the pan local character with limited local mentions in local news media and brief mentions in very specialized publications five years ago. To have enough notability for a Wikipedia article there needs to be multiple, independent reliable sources giving non-trivial coverage. This is definitely trivial. It reads as a vanity piece or free advertising, and indeed the bulk of the article was added by two editors whose editing histories are nearly devoid of other edits.

 * Comment. I can understand why an editor might find the coverage here insufficient, but it can't be fairly characterized as merely "local" or "flash in the pan". The character got substantial writeups in two different national medical publications two years apart, and in addition to multiple coverage in the Phoenix area over a period of years (including this year ) there's also a story from a Kansas TV station reproduced on the official website .  Strictly speaking, I think the extent of the coverage passes GNG, although I can see why others might set the threshold elsewhere. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:28, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Okay, it's a goofy character of limited reach, but there is substantial coverage in reliable sources and the earlier AfD nom cleaned up the article substantially. That means if passes WP:GNG. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:27, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
