 * Keep non-guideline cited inappropriately as a deletion rationale. Major fictional character appears throughout a fictional franchise in multiple media. Google News shows plenty of real-world coverage of Fraser's portrayal of this character. Jclemens (talk) 21:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:WAF, which is what I cited, is a guideline and it is cited appropriately. The top of that page states "This guideline is a part of the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style." The notability requirements for fictional characters are stated as the following: "There are notability prerequisites to be met by all subjects to warrant articles specifically about them. As mentioned earlier, the rule of thumb is that if the topic is sufficiently notable, secondary sources should be available and should ideally be included on article creation."

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Non-notable fictional character. No secondary sources provided. Details of character belong in the film articles only, until citations can be provided. SteveStrummer (talk) 16:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Couldn't find any sources that go into any detail here. Not enough to WP:verifynotability. Enough coverage in the plot of the films. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
