Article fails to establish notability with reliable, third-party sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn, per Sergeant Cribb's post and Yakushima's edit. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Try A Note on Simon Dedalus, DH Parker, James Joyce Quarterly, 1982. Or Fatherhood and Paternity in Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", Katrin Scherf, 2009.  Or Naming the father: legacies, genealogies, and explorations of fatherhood by Eva Paulino Bueno, Terry Caesar, William Hummel, 2000.  Sergeant Cribb (talk) 11:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep One of the most famous characters of a major novelist, and based on the novelist's own father -- this is the stuff of lit-crit dreams, so of course there is plenty of RS. I've added Sergeant Cribb's references to the article. They hardly seem to scratch the surface. The article is unacceptably stubby, but that's not a reason for deletion. Yakushima (talk)
