The result was   redirect to Minor characters in Sonic the Hedgehog (comic book). I haven't Merged, because nothing's sourced, so any sourced content could be moved across. Black Kite 20:00, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Locke the Echidna

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without non-trivial coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 16:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Soniccruft. JuJube (talk) 16:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No notability outside it fictional world. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge into one of the Sonic character pages. The article got strongly blank-vandalised in early June 2008, which still hasn't been noticed and implies even a lack of in-universe significance/popularity. – sgeureka t•c 21:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge Probably best combined with material for related characters, if only to deal with claims of lack of sourcing for notability. Parts of combination articles do not need to prove it. No argument given here against merge. No consideration of redirect. DGG (talk) 22:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. No verifiable secondary sources present to establish notability (fiction). Will gladly change if such sources about the character (not the Sonic games) can be found. MuZemike  ( talk ) 22:33, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into a list of Sonic characters page. Edward321 (talk) 23:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into character list. Hobit (talk) 01:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect into character list, since it's not really notable enough for its own article because it's lacking significant coverage in reliable third party sources. But redirecting seems like a decent compromise in the interim. No prejudice against splitting once someone properly sources this material. Randomran (talk) 01:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can't merge because there are no sources. Stifle (talk) 17:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
