Rose (Two and a Half men)

no indication of why this character needs a separate article to what is already in the main article. noq (talk) 00:09, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Keep This is a character that has appered a lot in the sitcom and those have a good story.Pedro thy master (talk • contribs) 21:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Merge back to Two and a Half Men. not a lead in the series. not notable on her own. already enough information in the original article.--camr nag 01:08, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - She's totally notable. I added a couple refs to get it started. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 01:46, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. she has almost an appearance every 2 episodes, maybe more. but she is still a secondary character, whose story and personality can be easily covered in the original article. also "totally notable" is kind of weird. making a search for "rose" "two and a half men" will probably give you many results, but she is still a secondary character. "judith" "two and a half men" would too, but there's no way judith should have her own article.--camr nag 13:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability is determined by sources, not by how large a role the character plays in the series. The main characters for a lot of less famous series can't pass WP:NOTE, and sometimes characters who appear just once can. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 16:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * but like i said, looking for sources (on google, for example) could, in this case, be very confusing.--camr nag 18:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * and please, compare the info on the main article and the one on this one... it makes no sense to have this article. the Two and a Half Men article makes it very obvious that all the information for the character can be contained within the original article.--camr nag 18:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Has sufficient sourcing for an independent article. Merger is an editorial decision, and would probably make sense in this case, but there's no policy-based reason to delete this article rather than merging. Jclemens (talk) 04:16, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Yea, Jclemens pretty much nails it. Enough WP:RS to show that character is WP:N - and really that's the bottom line here.  Although it's frowned upon, I could also mention some cartoon characters that have their own articles (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS).  Add to that the direction that WP:FICT has been headed over the last half-year, and I'd say there's a fair chance if it did get deleted, it would simply be recreated within a couple months.  The article could use more sourcing, but what's there establishes the key "keep" reasons.  On a closing note, I'll say that I do "like" being able to keep an eye on Rose. (those familiar with the character might see a touch of irony in that ;)) — Ched :  ?  18:22, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep 50 episodes it says in the information box. That makes the character notable, having been featured in 50 episodes, of a notable show.   D r e a m Focus  23:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep standard fictional character entry that is verifiable and notable, too big t be merged. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, this actually seems to be a main character rather than just a recurring character. -- Banj e  b oi   19:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
