Thomas George Churchill Wimsey, 10th Duke of Denver

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

De-prodded, so bringing to AFD. A fictional ancestor of a fictional character (Lord Peter Wimsey); T.G.C. Wimsey is not a character in the Lord Peter Wimsey stories at all, let alone a minor character. No real-world coverage and no importance within the work of fiction. Non-notable per WP:FICT. See also Articles for deletion/Mortimer Gerald Bredon Wimsey, 15th Duke of Denver‎ for a similar character. +Angr 21:03, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete This is essentially fanfic. The 16th Duke is worth an article, as a significant character is a very important series of books, and the central figure of one of them. His ancestors, who may be mentioned in the canon but are dead before the first of the novels starts in the early 1920s, are quite another matter. than Sayers herself wrote and privately printed --see  for a description--does not really make them canon. A note about them can go in an appropriate article.    DGG ( talk ) 23:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy close as unfounded and disruptive and keep or merge. There are real-world sources, as the bibliography on the article - and on the larger article Duke of Denver - will show. This is to Peter Wimsey as the Baker Street Irregulars are to Sherlock Holmes; the chief difference is that Dorothy Sayers, unlike Doyle, lived to partake of this. A merge to Duke of Denver is a possibility - and a purely stylistic question - but there happens to have been a serious riff on this Wimsey, so the result would be unbalanced.

 * Delete per nom and DGG. Pmanderson's reasoning seems to be other stuff exists, not based on WP:N or WP:FICT. Novaseminary (talk) 19:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
