 * Keep or merge into List of Pretty Little Liars characters. Received significant coverage from E! Online, E! Online again, and the Washington Blade.  The character's sexuality seems to have caused some degree of controversy and acclaim, but I'm not sure there's a whole lot to say about it except what I just said.  Nonetheless, she does seem to be quite a bit more notable than the average fictional character brought to AfD. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:57, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I saw those. The first and last seem to me more about the actress than the character. This time I think a merge is also appropriate since there is some coverage, but it's relatively related to the show and not really the character herself. But I'll leave that to other people to decide.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 23:00, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Who they're about does seem somewhat debatable. I'm fine with a merge, too.  However, I think we've at least got some potential to add out-of-universe information to this article, which is what I usually look for.  Right now, the article is just a collection of plot-lines, but we could probably add a section that discusses the real-world impact of her sexuality.  My biggest issue is that there just isn't all that much to say, unlike the enduring influence of someone like Superman, Han Solo, or James Bond.  Nobody is going to write scholarly essays on Pretty Little Liars characters, but they might mention her in a discussion of how lesbians are portrayed/received on television.  So I'm optimistic about this article, even if it does seem like worthless fancruft currently.  Of course, if you'd asked me yesterday if I'd be voting to keep Pretty Little Liars characters yesterday... NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:38, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I see your points. Let's see what other people have to say.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 23:44, 31 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep as passes GNG, The character's well notable for Pretty Little Liars as well as the controversy.
