Not notable. No significant coverage in independent sources. Google search gives 6 results. DonaldDuck (talk) 07:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Only in extreme cases should characters be covered in their own article. Not seeing such circumstances here. _ Mgm|(talk) 11:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Note: I had this interchange, below, with the article's author several days ago, which may be somewhat informative. (I had used the wrong SD template, and then changed my mind about deleting it at all, although the article really is pretty weak.)  Tim Ross   (talk)  15:58, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * ":My apologies, Digwuren. I placed the wrong tag on the article you wrote. It is still my intention to propose the article for deletion, but, clearly, the article is about a fictional character, and not a real person. In any case, though, there needs to be a greater showing of notability than a statement that the character occurs in two books. You will need to have references which refer to the character, and which are not connected to the author. Tim Ross   (talk)  11:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not showing that the character occurs, actually. These sources are publications of these libraries, discussing the intercharacter relations.  One of them is a test of understanding read text for children.  Robert Vaidlo's books are somewhat of children's classic; even forty years later, they're still widely read, and considered a standard part of a well-read child's experience.  This is what these sources are supposed to demonstrate. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 11:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)"
