This character does not establish notability independent of Discworld through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so any coverage in the main articles is enough detail on the character TTN (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. And the reliable sources backing up notability independent of the books are....? This article fails WP:FICTION. McWomble (talk) 07:05, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Important haracter in series of landmark importance. Will be discussed in all the reviews. The rules for notability refer to the work in general, and appropriate major characters should get treatment in individual articles as the material best indicates. Given the complexity ofthe series, articles on the characters are a good ay to bring the information together. The sourcing for this material will be from the primary sources, as appropriatate for plot and character. Other aspects of the series mcuh be discussed, and will be in other components of the group of articles. The RSs for this are the books itself, more important & more reliable than secondary sources.
