There don't seem to be independent sources confirming the notability of the subject, whether addressed as a person or the letters themselves. Discussion on talk page has been inconclusive.

 * The links you provided only show mention in a single Telegraph blog comment and a reader-submitted letter to The Nation, none of which I believe are reliable sources. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. Blog comments and reader letters don't change that. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, I am the author of the article (so feel free to discount my vote) but as the subject matter is of a fictional person I believe this is not the usual situation for notability of people. I think it is more akin to a character in a book series. We have articles or stub articles about characters in books so why should we not have this article about a character that notably kept appearing in a newspaper - so much so that the newspaper itself decided to print a compilation.

 * Merge I think a summary mention in the paper's article would be adequate. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge: I agree with ChildofMidnight. Apparently this person is big enough to have acquired some fame, and a redirect to the paper would not be amiss. Drmies (talk) 21:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge It's borderline right now. If the article gets beefed up with some sources, it would be more helpful.  I'm okay with either one.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep essentially this is the title of a pseudonymous column (despite being published through the letters page) in a major newspaper. Seems notable to me, and of a fair amount of historical interest. Dybryd (talk) 05:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
