Tobias Snape
person, which didnt/does not exist
 * Keep, Tarzan didn't and does not exist either. Kappa 18:48, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: long precedence of articles on fictional characters in Wikipedia.--Prosfilaes 18:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Since when was just being about a fictional character a good criterion for deletion? --Mysidia (talk) 19:17, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep not only is it an invalid reason, but the nomination is unsigned. CanadianCaesar 20:07, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, invalid reason from an unsigned, anonymous, first time edit. --Presnell 20:19, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - please don't bite the newbies. Proto t c 10:39, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Agree with Mysidia. Have I missed something? --Celestianpower hab 20:30, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - If you deleted this you would have to delted ALL of the fictional characters...which would be insane--Aeon 21:22 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable fictional character. I ask again - why are anonymous users allowed to nominate people for vfd when their votes aren't eligible to be counted. Capitalistroadster 23:54, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - yes they are. An account is not necessary to participate in wikipedia.  Anonymous votes and nominations should only be discounted if bad faith can be proven. Proto t c 10:39, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Utterly non-notable fictional character: the only information in the article -- the only possible information in the article -- is that he is the father of Severus Snape and married a muggle. Not encyclopedic until, at the very least, the next book in the series. --Calton | Talk 00:17, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete in 50 years time when everyone has forgotten about the Harry Potter thing. Or maybe not, depending on how computer storage, processing, and communications have developed. Omit from print edition of wikipedia, and shoot Rowling for using such a crass device for exploring racism issues. --zippedmartin 00:25, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not because of any issues with Harry Potter (I quite like it) or because it's a fictional character, but because it is a useless article containing no information that cannot also be found by reading the article on Severus Snape. If someone wants to bang together a list of minor characters in Harry Potter, perhaps a merge might be useful, but this article is absolutely worthless.
 * Keep. Notable. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-08-15 03:03
 * Redirect and Merge anything useful into the article on Severus Snape. Grutness...  wha?  05:41, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Harry Potter characters. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:40, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Pottercruft. Character doesn't even appear in the book, is just discussed - briefly - in around 4 sentences or so.  Is there a List of minor characters in Harry Potter or something similar that this sort of thing can go in? Proto t c 10:35, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect and Merge Preferably as per Proto, otherwise as per Grutness. Caerwine 02:21, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Kill Dumbledore --SPUI (talk) 00:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - He's a really minor character in the books and didn't even have any dialogue so far. Merge info either with the Severus Snape or the minor characters page. unsigned by
 * Speedy Merge and Redirect to whoever the guy is the son of, and I assume most of the deleters above also mean merge and redirect, right? Func( t, c, @,) 14:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
