Once-ler

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

An article for a character from Theodor Geisel's The Lorax. A previous attempt to redirect it to the main book article was reverted by Ombudsman without comment. It consists almost entirely of in-universe plot information—no sources, background information, context, or real-world information—and it's not notable enough for a separate article from The Lorax.

 * Redirect to The Lorax. Nom has it right. Dr. Seuss characters are often memorable, but there is little by way of independent sources to use to make a proper article on this one. There is plenty of room to expand the parent article, and if proper sources eventually emerge, it can be spun off later. No independent notability, the character is primarily a plot device.

 * Delete as a duplicate and redirect. Last time I checked the Lorax article had two plot summaries. Now here's another one. Hooray! WillOakland (talk) 19:51, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
