San Theodoros

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a fictional nation that appears in a few strips of The Adventures of Tintin. Unfortunately, the article is pure PLOT with no shred of analysis / reception / significance. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. And before someone proudly displays a WP:GOOGLEHITS results, yes, the country is mentioned in some books like or  but unfortunately the discusison I see is limited to WP:PLOT summary or is otherwise limited to passing commentary that "San Theororos is a parody of a banana republic" or such. Whichj does not suggest that we need a dedicated WP:FANCRUFT description if this fictional country, a mention in the first book it appears in, which I think is The Broken Ear, should be sufficient; and at best this could be redirected to List of The Adventures of Tintin locations.

 * So this stuff is not popular in States so it is not notable? Granted, in the comment I should have said "other Tintin stories" but I checked and apparently Hachette has bublished most of the series (https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/search/tintin). Did you check the French Wikipedia equivalent (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Theodoros)? So I suppose you want to remove all of these (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Tintin_locations) as well?  - Skysmith (talk) 07:45, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of The Adventures of Tintin locations. On its own it clearly is not notable for an article but it can be mentioned in the locations list.  Java Hurricane  11:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Current sourcing is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. It would be most prudent to build up The Adventures of Tintin over trying to do anything with that bare-bones list of locations. I wouldn't doubt the possibility of a few locations from such an old series meeting GNG, but proof will need to be shown first. TTN (talk) 13:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of The Adventures of Tintin locations. No sourcing that indicates we could support a standalone article. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:26, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
