No WP:RS, fails WP:N and appears to be a WP:PROMO for an accountancy firm.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 07:49, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable and does reek a bit like an advertisement. Bakilas (talk) 09:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

That's a shame, the blogs in question in no way advertise the accountancy firm and that was never my intention. I just wanted more people to have access to this information, as HMRC are behaving poorly and getting away with it. The blogs offer insight in a humorous way but also highlight serious matters at hand. I'll respect whatever you decide. I did not intend to break any rules, I'm new and probably should have asked. JenniferWarr (talk) 12:08, 31 July 2017 (UTC) Also, I'm happy to remove any mention of the accountancy firm if that helps. JenniferWarr (talk) 14:30, 31 July 2017 (UTC) Ahh ok - I've seen it picked up in blogs, Twitter, comments, etc... Maybe I'm just too early. The character's only been about for a few months. Either way, for the time being I'll stick to editing the topics I'm very knowledgable on and perhaps try to set up a page when I have more exp. JenniferWarr (talk) 08:09, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence found to suggest that this cartoon character is of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 10:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You haven't done anything wrong. It is just the problem is that there aren't any reliable sources for the character to justify its inclusion in Wikipedia. When I came across it, I had hoped to improve it but because I couldn't find the character anywhere else beyond the accountancy firm I can't. If he is featured in a reliable 3rd party sources then it certainly should have an article but until then, there isn't a way it can remain.  The C of E God Save the Queen!
