Not independently notable: does not pass our guidelines in terms of coverage and importance. Drmies (talk) 23:20, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Adding "Morrison" to the Google News search above demonstrates plenty of independent, RS, non-trivial coverage of this fictional character. Jclemens (talk) 00:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Enough sources can be found. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 01:52, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Bloated WP:OR plot description. No out-of-universe notability whatsoever. As for the remark by Jclemens: I don't doubt that Morrison is notable, but this AFD is about this one character that she's playing. See also the related AFD on the other character articles at Articles for deletion/Snow White (Once Upon a Time). --Randykitty (talk) 12:47, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree wholeheartedly with Randykitty's reasoning. Furthermore, the majority of the summary in this page has been taken word for word from the corresponding article on onceuponatime.wikia.com. Utter solitude (talk) 04:24, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as Bloated unneeded character description. The actress is notable, that does not mean the character is notable.  Reliable souces listing this role in a biography of the actress does not mean the role itself is notable enough for an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:33, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete all, as I agree with Utter the pages were created, and whole paragraphs from after the date of page creation on Wikipedia on February 2nd, 2013, were taken from the onceuponatime.wikia.com website. As per the history edit, the page history for Emma Swan on the Wikipedia dated February 2nd is as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emma_Swan&oldid=536181531

And the state of the Emma Swan page on the wikia dated February 2nd (the same date) is as follows:   http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Emma_Swan?oldid=155889

Open both in separate windows, and tell me you don't see they are nearly identical word for word. I can assure you that the Once Upon a Time Wikia does not and never copies history summaries from anywhere else, and all the summaries written for recaps, individual character pages and pages detailing items or locations were all written by a handful of users who help contribute to adding information to the website. I am very upset to learn the creation of these pages on Wikipedia is as a result of Sonofaphrodite copying whole pages from the Wikia, and taking all the credit for himself in the process of pasting everything in, and unassumingly, several users editing the page after him have no idea they are editing plagiarized content that he did not write. If he did help write *some* of the summaries on the Once Upon a Time Wikia, it is still wrong to copy and paste everything on the Wikia's individual page itself onto here because he obviously did not write the whole page on the Wikia, which is a group writing and editing effort on the Wikia itself.

 * Delete Bio of an imaginary, non-existant, non-entity. You can't have real-world notoriety by posting an article about something that is nothing more than a plot creation.  If you want to argue the real world actress is notable for the portrayal, so be it.  But Snow White this thing ain't, and "Emma Swan" has no "out-of-universe" notability to argue.  It's right here: Articles for deletion/Snow White (Once Upon a Time), just like Randykitty said.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barada (talk • contribs) 03:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
