Non-notable fancruft. This is a fictional character in a series of books, having no real-world notability. No encyclopedic content. The article is written as in-universe style, is solely plot summary, and is original research.  Jerry  talk ¤ count/logs 01:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Maybe semi-notable within the Redwall universe, but unfortunately, this character has absolutely no out-of-universe notability whatsoever. This is purely a plot summary and original research. (What is it about fantasy series that they attract cruft like iron filings to a magnet, anyway?)

 * Delete non notable fictional character. Dgf32 (talk) 04:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and cut drastically. From the description she's a principal character in a notable series. The qualifty of the article is an example of what encourages such nominations, but thats for editing, not AfD. DGG (talk) 01:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable fictional character. Eusebeus (talk) 15:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge back to Redwall. Catchpole (talk) 18:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable fictional character. Anything salvageable can be put into the Redwall article. Bardcom (talk) 14:42, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge. I have not read the books, but agree with DGG that by description this character seems significant within it. By my reading of the proposed guideline at Notability (fiction), I think it would serve Wikipedia better to trim this article substantially and merge it. I don't, however, think that Redwall is the best destination for it, as that article is already quite substantial. I think it would more appropriately be merged into Martin the Warrior. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Smerge to Martin the Warrior, which already mentions Laterose. This is basically just an unnecessarily detailed plot summary of the book. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 09:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The fact that this is an example of how to not write an article about a character is a separate issue from whether it is appropriate to have one. Whether it should go be merged into he article for the book or stay separate is a matte of style; to avoid repetition, it might perhaps go with the book.  DGG (talk) 18:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Just wanted to note that, if this AfD closes as merge, I'd be happy to performer the merger myself. I've watchlisted the AfD, but I can also be tapped on the shoulder with a note at my talk page. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - disagree with DGG; it appears she's not notable enough for a mention on the Redwall article; the notable series. I don't think sufficient notability is there. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
