Ryan Harrison (Character)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article about a fictional character in a one-off Leslie Nielsen spoof. Most of the article is a plot summary of Wrongfully Accused. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 13:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - the protagonist of the film. Otherwise, you can around deleting articles on pretty much every protagonist in every movie that didn't see a sequel. Mikael GRizzly 14:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Is the character in any way significant outside of the fiction of the film? Wrongfully Accused is on the margins of notability as is. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 14:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fictional protagonists who have no impact on society beyond the fictional vehicle they're in are not independently notable. Many of thost pages should be deleted. Llajwa 22:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep unlike the Change of Mind case above, this one is the main character. Second choice, merge into the film. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:39, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is the character that is central to film's plot. And the character has plenty of Google search hits. The article might need editing to make it bigger and better, but the character is significant enough to warrent his own article.  Lra drama 14:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Why is this character significant? Because "Ryan Harrison - wrongfully accused" gets 23,00 ghits to database websites, film reviews, dvd retailers, and film quotations? Can you find one reliable source which describes, in no uncertain terms, the significance of this character in fiction or culture? ˉˉanetode╦╩ 15:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete NN character. Why is there an entry fo the character that describes the entire movie but the article for the movie is nothing more then a list of trivia. Ridernyc 14:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to Wrongfully Accused, which for some reason has no plot summary at all. – sgeureka t•c 15:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge to the main film article. Characters only get articles if they have real-world notability, which this one doesn't. We can't start having separate articles on thousands of non notable film protagonists, just because they were in a film. Crazysuit 17:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Notability is not inherited. It's the movie that's notable, not the protagonist. Llajwa 22:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete no claim of notabilty Secret sup 01:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per others. No secondary sources indicating notability per WP:FICT. Doctorfluffy 01:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
