Tom (Lost)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

If Eloise Hawking, Frank Lapidus, and Penny Widmore all got their articles deleted, so should Tom. He is of little relevance to the story and progress of the show, and there is no reason for him to have his own article when the three that I mentioned all got their articles deleted.

 * Keep. I brought this article up to good article level, and feel there are plenty of real world information to justify it having an article. Eloise Hawking was deleted due to lack or real world info, Frank Lapidus was a copyright violation and Penny Widmore's real world information was to do with her relationship with Desmond Hume, so fitted fine into his article and didn't justify Penny having her own article. Tom's article has information on the development of the character and the reception of the character, verified to reliable sources. Sanders11 (talk) 16:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Sanders. The other articles were lacking information from reliable, third-party sources.  This one has them.  That's the main point not 'they were deleted let's delete these others'.  --HELLØ    ŦHERE 16:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sanders11 - There are enough reliable sources for the article to pass Notability.  The Le ft orium  16:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons stated above. Rhino131 (talk) 18:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, important character in beginning era of show Tphi (talk) 18:58, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - It has substantial real-world, reliably sourced content and was promoted to GA because of that; its notability is clear. Gran2 19:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article is referenced and Tom is a major reoccurring character in the series with an explored back story. The article seems relevant enough to warrant its existence. MegabyteModem (talk) 10:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep There is sufficient real-world information for a decent article. Karanacs (talk) 18:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
