Doug Morrison (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Nothing but in-universe plot summary. Character too new to have much traction out-of-universe. No suitable sources from which to rewrite article dramatic (talk) 05:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC) This article is vital to the Shortland Street 2010 storyline and is featuring heavily currently and for the next few weeks. In a few months time, people interested in the show will need to read this article to catch up with a detailed account of one of the major storylines covered in 2010.

 * "Catching up with storylines" is not the role of Wikipedia with respect to soap operas. "The main purpose of Wikipedia articles is to provide encyclopedic information about a subject, such as its cultural impact, and not to provide a detailed and lengthy description of story events. The Wikipedia articles can then provide links to other websites which have more detailed storyline information." (WikiProject_Soap_Operas)
 * "Notability of fictional elements should be based on their impact in the real world as opposed to what occurs with them within the work(s) of fiction. Even if a character plays a highly significant and "notable" role within the work does not infer notability of the character for the purposes of Wikipedia. Note that if a character is determined by critics or experts in the fields to be a pivotal character within the work of fiction, this is an aspect of the real-world influence of the character - the critical review of it - and thus likely can be shown to be notable through secondary sources." (Notability_(fiction)). Your desire to document New Zealand's most significant TV series is commendable.

I have now edited the article to make it suitable for a soap opera character article and I would like its deletion reviewed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.106.240 (talk) 07:53, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have looked at your additions to the article and I see unsourced in-universe analysis of the character's relationships which appear to be Original research. I don't see anything along the lines described above. dramatic (talk) 00:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

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


 * Delete - Undue weight for a barely established character. The above comment that the character "is featuring heavily currently and for the next few weeks" suggests a COI. (Talk Contribs) 07:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
