Rukarumel

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable fictional character. Article is a summary of the character with no real-world context or significance, which fails WP:NOT. No substantial coverage in secondary sources to indicate notability per WP:FICT. "'Rukarumel' -wikipedia" on Google returns non-reliable fansites and forums and trivial mentions. Without reliable secondary sources independent of the subject to establish notability, it's impossible to rewrite, or cleanup the article in such way that it doesn't fail WP:FICT and/or some clause of WP:NOT.

 * Keep as per Wiki is not paper. Specifically, "There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia. Each of the 100+ poker games can have its own page with rules, history, and strategy. Jimbo Wales has agreed: Hard disks are cheap." -- Masterzora 20:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Referring to an essay on Meta which has been basically unchanged in the 5 years it has existed does not somehow override the core policies of Wikipedia, including verifiablity, reliable sourcing, and notablity. In fact, the modern version of your argument is WP:PAPER, which specifically states: This policy is not a free pass for inclusion: Articles still must abide by the appropriate content policies and guidelines, in particular those covered in the five pillars. Please try to be familiar with current policies when participating in AfDs. Doctorfluffy 21:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as article does not have any primary or secondary sources, real world context or evidence of notability of this fictional character outside the card game from which he is derived. --Gavin Collins 08:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As far as I can tell, this character appears only in flavor text for a few cards - I don't think there's anything worth merging anywhere. JavaTenor 10:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's right, we must delete this trivial article that's only useful to a few thousand people in order to save electrons. Remember, save those electrons, they're more important than you think.
