Non-notable fictional character. Google turned up no reliable secondary sources devoting significant coverage to this character to indicate notability, which indicates WP:FICT cannot be satisfied no matter what. Doctorfluffy (talk) 23:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete**. I'd say Merge, but everything important already appears to be in the Riverworld article. -Toptomcat (talk) 02:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Significant character, running through the series. .Using the authorial voice is a significant structural element of fiction. Needs expansion, to include the real world content of exactly where he appears DGG (talk) 12:24, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect to Riverworld. There are already articles that discuss the literary device: Self-insertion (which lists Frigate as an example) and Author surrogate. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

 * merge I don't think anyone is saying this character does not exist, just that an unreferenced stub could just as easily be part of the overall article on the book series.Beeblbrox (talk) 20:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep a very notable series, a notable character as the authorial voice, and sources talking about it. That's the sort of attention to character that does establish notability. This is the sort of material that the people discussing this sort of content keep saying they want. It needs to be expanded from the sources.  DGG (talk) 02:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is your second !vote. Perhaps you could combine your rationales into one comment and strike the other !vote? Doctorfluffy (talk) 14:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, as a quick Google search suggests that it is indeed a notable character, but expand and add additional sources. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 23:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
