This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 19:17, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The game series itself is very notable, both for design and gameplay innovations, and as one of the leading video game series on the Playstation consoles; and with this character being one of the three most well-known characters in the series, it seems a tad hasty to toss out the character page. As for sourcing, the article notes Electronic Gaming Monthly in at least one case, and references several of the games (which are all notable enough to be in Wikipedia). Keep for now, and hopefully get some more sources in there. JasonDUIUC (talk) 22:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Important character in a very popular series, per JasonDUIUC and Edward 321. My argument is basically the same as my one for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank) (sorry if it's too supportive or biased). Æåm Fætsøn (talk) 00:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: Trim away the OR from the lead and you're left with 100% plot summary from the games he appears in. No sense writing the same thing twice. Nifboy (talk) 18:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of characters in the Ratchet & Clank series as this article is totally lacking in citations from reliable sources (per Wikipedia policy, another Wiki is not considered a RS). B.Wind (talk) 03:15, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral to weak keep Some gnews hits exist for the Captain Quark text string. Article can be sourced, but should be trimmed of extended plot info and OR. Protonk (talk) 03:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
