Not notable minor character from a single science fiction book; fancruft. Should be merged back into Stranger in a Strange Land Factsontheground (talk) 15:26, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. From what I recall, he was a key character in Stranger in a Strange Land. He also made cameo appearances in least three other Heinlein novels—a fact clearly stated in the article. Numerous search results in Google News and Google Books. Sources like, , or  establish notability.   — Rankiri (talk) 16:39, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: Nomination is simply mistaken.  He's not a minor character; he's not just in one book.  Furthermore, Stranger in a Strange Land is very significant piece in the field, which is why there is material out there on the character.--Milowent (talk) 03:28, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Stranger in a Strange land is a significant and well-known work of literature, this article provides valuable information related to it. Mathieas (talk) 03:34, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it seems that the overwhelming consensus is keep. Nomination withdrawn per WP:SNOW. Factsontheground (talk) 03:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
