Ludwig Frankenstein

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

This character does not establish notability independent of The Ghost of Frankenstein 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. TTN (talk) 13:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the main article and be done with it. - Mgm|(talk) 13:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - a simple Google book search turns up sources that discuss the character's appearances in at least one other film and in other media, sources that discuss the character in terms of the film series Promethean legend and so on. Nominator has been on something of a Frankenstein's monster-like rampage recently and I'm afraid I'm going to need something a little bit better than "Article BAD!" before I can agree that deletion is proper.

 * Can you point some out that provide real world information? The ten or so that I looked at only reference the character from the plot, which doesn't do anything. TTN (talk) 00:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Children of the Night discusses the character in terms of the Promethean legend along with some sociopolitical commentary as a representative of one of six archetypal horror characters. There appear to be other sources available in book format but many of the Google books results are snippet view. Otto4711 (talk) 22:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep significant character, and Otto's ref is all that might possibly be asked for to show it. Nom as unref, with the usual lack of effort shown by so many nominators here to look for one.  DGG (talk) 05:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
