The topic does not have WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. WP:BEFORE only found licensed sources affiliated with the subject, or database style coverage without any significant real-world reception. Jontesta (talk) 00:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Question: What are "licensed sources affiliated with the subject"? StAnselm (talk) 02:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. This passes WP:GNG with the two references in the article. But it is borderline speedy keep with what is apparently a bad faith nomination: the "licensed sources affiliated with the subject" appears meaningless (see above question), and quite clearly WP:BEFORE was not carried out. The nomination seems to be a copy-and-paste from Articles for deletion/Oofy Prosser, which perhaps accounts for the nominator ignoring the references in the article. StAnselm (talk) 03:40, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I saw the scant references and we have a good faith disagreement about what significant coverage is. For example, one of your sources is a database that simply names an actor who played the character. The guideline says that a reference should address the topic "directly and in detail", and definitely "more than a trivial mention". Jontesta (talk) 03:08, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Except that was added after the deletion nomination. StAnselm (talk) 03:59, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep The timing is perplexing: it had no sources, adds two RS'es, and then it gets sent to AfD? Very curious. The sources appear to meet GNG, so... why are we here? Jclemens (talk) 04:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jclemens No comment about the timing, but the sources have major SIGCOV issues IMHO. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:27, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List_of_P._G._Wodehouse_characters. Yes, we have some refs, but they fail WP:SIGCOV, and my BEFORE didn't find anything else. There is a bit of analysis, but it's minor (very short). I don't see why we need a stand-alone page for this character, but a merge would be a good compromise preserving the little that was found, which is certainly better than nothing and should not be removed from Wikipedia. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:27, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of P. G. Wodehouse characters, there's clearly not enough coverage to establish GNG, with the only coverage that does exist being database listings, primary sources and passing mentions, but there is enough here for more information to be added to the main article. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to List_of_P._G._Wodehouse_characters. Insufficient coverage in sources to support a standalone article. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:41, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to List_of_P._G._Wodehouse_characters. The coverage is borderline and this would WP:PRESERVE the character summary at a valid target. Archrogue (talk) 01:31, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of P. G. Wodehouse characters. The references are WP:RS but appear to be a couple of short mentions on a single page failing WP:SIGCOV, I did not find additional sources that are SIGCOV. However, per WP:ATD the brief reception-like paragraphs is worth merging IMO to List of P. G. Wodehouse characters as per and .  VickKiang   (talk)  20:40, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. The sources are short mentions and not WP:SIGCOV, but there is something that can help improve the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:06, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
