Kreacher
This fiction piece is undoubtedly well written. But is it encyclopedic? Subject returns 580 googles. Contrast and compare to Dobby which returns over 83-thousand googles. --GRider\talk 19:36, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable Harry Potter house elves. This guy is very important to the story, due to the possibility of betrayal Kappa 20:01, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable character, notable book. Xezbeth  20:37, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep major characters in notable books. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 20:45, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep actually, more pivotal to the story than even Dobby. ral315 20:48, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Would you agree that in this instance the Google test is irrelevant?  --GRider\talk 20:51, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I notice in your google comparison above, you stated the amount of unique hits for Kreacher, but not for Dobby. Not very fair and balanced of you. In your search, Dobby gets 773 unique hits . The unique hit metric is meaningless for searches with large number of hits. Keep, as Kreacher is a major character in the series. DaveTheRed 21:28, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments and pointing this out. To be fair, I have stricken the Dobby reference.  --GRider\talk 21:36, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge into House-Elf. I find it more useful to collect information. This guy deserves about one paragraph. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 23:50, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge it, then. Wyss 02:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
