Dani Beck

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

Content here is pretty cruft-tacular and in-universe. (actually, that's not necessarily fair, but the content really isn't the issue) Reasonable content is available at List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters, home of short-time main characters that ended up being pretty minor in the grand scheme, such as Brian Cassidy, Monique Jeffries, Chester Lake, and Kim Greylek. We don't need a standalone page for Dani Beck any more than we need a standalone page for any of those other single season (or small parts of two season) characters.

 * Delete, already covered in the List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters. The character simply isn't notable to warrant her own article, just like Chester Lake and Kim Greylek are not. talking  birds  19:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per other similar bios on carachters on television.--Judo112 (talk) 14:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Welcome to AfD! I suggest you read WP:OTHERSTUFF. Also note that other characters on this particular TV show, including Chester Lake and Kim Greylek, that had similar short runs on the show do not have their own articles because they did not establish notability for themselves in their short run. talking  birds  00:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Clearly, at minimum there should be a redirect to List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit characters here, to redirect from a sub-topic to the enclosing larger topic article that it is discussed within. Therefore the choice is between a redirect and an article.  That choice is enacted using the ordinary editing tool, that every editor has, even ones without accounts.  It doesn't not require any use of the deletion tool by an administrator.  Uncle G (talk) 02:15, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * That concensus can be generated at the article's talk page. -- Whpq (talk) 16:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In theory, yes, but who looks at the talk page of an article that's been edited 5 times in the last 12 months? Whose talk page has, besides banners, only been edited once ever? Nosleep  break my slumber 16:48, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In which case, a WP:BOLD editting decision would have been to just do it. -- Whpq (talk) 18:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the list article. --Cyber cobra (talk) 01:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect. One of the rare times Uncle G and I agree. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
