Speedy deletion declined as a character in a Shakespeare play would seem to be inherently notable. However further discussion would be appreciated. I propose a Merge into The Winter's Tale and redirect. Pedro : Chat  12:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP, do not Merge. In general, articles of Shakespearean plays describe plots, not character details, so I recommend against a merge. Some characters do have their own articles. Since this character seems to have an important role in this play, I think it is appropriate, and consistent with other Wiki articles, for this article to remain. It deserves to be expanded to a level similar to the Perdita article, another character in this play of similar importance. Truthanado 12:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - Merge into The Winter's Tale - some characters are notable enough, but sadly, this one is not. Spawn Man 12:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am heartily amused to find this: a context-free, in-universe article about a fictional character &mdash; from Shakespeare!  But Florizel is a fairly major character in The Winter's Tale; Florizel and Perdita are the romantic leads. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Just needs sourcing, but easily sourceable, since any character from these plays will have dozens at least of possible sources. DGG (talk) 04:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A major character in a Shakespeare play seems prime encyclopedia material to me. As DGG mentions, there are likely to be loads of sources. Espresso Addict 10:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, quite notable. Everyking 10:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and do not merge. I am actually in favour of having an article on every Shakespeare figure. If not that, then definitely a character as notable as Florizel. --Thorwald 21:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP, do not Merge. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  01:07, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
