Gan (Stephen King)

This does not establish notability independent of Stephen King's works through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * Comment Doesn't seem notable. The only significant coverage I can find is in Stephen King's The Dark Tower: A Concordance, which is published by Hachette, who also publish the Dark Tower books. I'm wondering if some of this could be merged. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of The Dark Tower characters. This is an imperfect merge target, but it seems like the best choice. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:59, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to The Dark Tower (series). Gan (Stephen King) has no secondary sources, and so should not be a stand alone article.  As Gan is a plot device, not a character, it should be in the series article, not the list of characters.  Interested editors should read WP:WAF, the content is too "in-universe".  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:15, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Either merge target works for me, really. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:55, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
