The Monk (Doctor Who)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An antagonist who appeared twice in Doctor Who's television history, and has generally been confined to spin-off media since. I can't find any sources relating to him, and thus I don't believe he meets GNG or SIGCOV. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Science fiction and fantasy,  and Television. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable figure in the TV's show history with an ongoing afterlife in other media and some sources already existing in the article. Rufus Hound has discussed the character in recent interviews, so there's scope for improvement. U-Mos (talk) 08:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Turns out Hound was quoted from a twitter conversation, not interviewed, but it was still reported by reliable sources. I've added that and brought across some other material to start a development section on the article. U-Mos (talk) 08:51, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep An interesting, useful, and, as far as my knowledge goes, accurate article. I should be sorry to see it removed. Charles.bowyer (talk) 19:40, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect/Merge to The Time Meddler or List of Doctor Who villains. There's a clear WP:ATD and no evidence of notability or significance in the article. WP:ITSINTERESTING is not a valid reason to keep. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:08, 8 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge to The Time Meddler. Some bits of genuine information but no-one has provided sources that say, in big red letters, “THIS IS NOTABLE”. The excuses to keep the article are really not good, like WP:JUSTNOTABLE, WP:INTERESTING, WP:USEFUL, WP:TRUE, and WP:PLEASEDONT

 * Merge or redirect to articles above, unless someone improves this with reception/analysis section so that it meets GNG. Right now it's mostly a plot summary WP:FANCRUFT, I fear. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively to The Time Meddler. Open minded on target, but there isn't enough WP:SIGCOV to support a separate article. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:36, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
