Phillip Drummond (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Alongside Kimberly Drummond (character), Arnold Jackson (character), Willis Jackson (character) these articles should either be deleted or merged. The actors who portray the characters are be notable, but there is insufficient that there is enough third person information to justify an article for the characters they portrayed. If enough analysis from books or newspaper articles which talk about the characters NOT the actors who portray them can be found I would be willing to withdrawn my nomination. At worst these article should be deleted at best merged. Please consider notability is WP:NOTINHERITED,WP:ITSINTERESTING, WP:NOHARM are not valid arguements to keep these articles.

 * Keep per my comments at Articles for deletion/Kimberly Drummond (character).--Milowent • hasspoken 21:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Using WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as to whether an article should be kept or deleted is not a valid argument. It is also irrelevant whether the character was part of a popular or short lived television. The question is there verifiable independent information which discusses in depth about the character. Also the characters you used in arguement Milowent,Alex P. Keaton,Venus Flytrap (WKRP in Cincinnati),Bailey Quarters and Gilligan (Gilligan's Island) in all the instances viable third person information has been found discussing each character article in depth. You have so far failed to produce one reliable source to assert any of these articles are notable. Simply stating WP:ITSNOTABLE is not going to make an article anymore valid.

 * merge Though we do not follow precedent exactly, consistency is a desirable goal. (Even consistency in a direction one might not prefer is better than random inclusion). This character is not Yoda, a key character in a famous fiction, but neither is she an insignificant character in a fiction that is only borderline notable.The compromise position for such cases is merging; there is no reason to completely remove the information, as it is reasonable that someone might look here for the identification of any named character in a well-known work.

 * Merge I was not able to find significant coverage in third-party sources. I have yet to hear a valid argument for this article's existence. OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is invalid because each article's degree of notability depends solely on its third-party coverage rather than the fact that similar articles exist.
