Lord Glenarvan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a non-notable fictional character, has been in CAT:NN since 2011 and has been tagged as no sources since that same time. This is the fiction story he appears in, so it's a primary source. I'm finding largely mirrors and the primary source materials on Google, along with a few blogs. This apparently refers to the unrelated Glenarvon. Here's the novel again. There's a ton of search engine noise for Glenarvon, the unrelated novel of a different spelling, but I'm finding nothing for Lord Glenarvan. Hog Farm Bacon 16:55, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: Lord Glenarvan has been discussed in literary criticism as a colonialist figure, and academia loves talking about colonialism. There's three pages on Glenarvan in Exotic Memories: Literature, Colonialism, and the Fin de Siècle (Stanford University Press, 1991). Roland Barthes wrote about Lord Glenarvan in New Critical Essays (Northwestern University Press, 2009). Russian playwright Mikhail Bulgakov wrote a play, The Crimson Island, that used the character of Lord Glenarvan to ridicule Western Europe's colonialism; it's discussed in Subversive Stages: Theater in Pre- and Post-Communist in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria (Central European University Press, 2017) and Comedy in the Early Works of Mikhail Bulgakov (Georgetown University Press, 1968). I believe that this demonstrates notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
