Napoleon (Animal Farm)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Character is already briefly summarized through the main article Animal Farm and List of Animal Farm characters and does not need to be it's own independent article. Anonymax (talk) 23:55, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep This work has been extensively analysed and critiqued in numerous works such as this. It is an allegory and so the characters have special significance and so merit good coverage.  Their names are natural search terms and so make good article titles.  It is our editing policy to keep such good material. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep See also Articles for deletion/List of Animal Farm characters in which we see that the list has been created as an improper copyright violation of this article. The nomination is therefore untenable and should be speedily closed per WP:SK #2. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:57, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - I am fine with keeping the individual character analyses if the List of Animal Farm characters is deleted; or with deleting the individual character treatments if List of Animal Farm characters is retained. This is an extremely influential allegorical work and expanded treatment of primarty characters is fully appropriate, in my estimation. Sourcing of the article needs to be improved.

 * Keep The individual character articles existed before made the unilateral decision to combine them all by cutting and pasting the contents to a single article, thus destroying the edit history of the individual articles.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
