The result was   keep. Minor character indeed. For those of a certain age *cough* its not minor at all. Plus consensus is clearly to keep. Spartaz Humbug! 16:59, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Travis (Blake's 7)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A minor sci fi character with little or no reliable third person sources to justify notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 01:33, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep There are plenty of sources for this topic including Solar Flares: Science Fiction in the 1970s, The Essential Cult TV Reader and A History and Critical Analysis of Blake's 7. The topic is therefore notable per the WP:GNG. Andrew (talk) 22:14, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per Zen (Blake's 7), this is a somewhat marginal decision as Travis scarcely a well-known fictional character like Ebenezer Scrooge per WP:BKD. But the alternative seems to be to merge the article into Characters of Blake's 7. That article is already WP:TOOLONG and outright deletion of the content strikes me as being negative to Wikipedia rather than positive.  Fiachra10003 (talk) 19:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - article reads like a very lengthy piece of original research, without any claims or evidence of wider notice. Travis isn't even listed as a regular character in the Blake's 7 article. On the other hand I seem to recognise him from the images available online. If people know of sources about him rather than generally about the series, let's hear about them. Sionk (talk) 22:41, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Characters of Blake's 7 Everything except for the infobox was already merged word for word on January 23, 2014 and is there in the current revision. Therefore, this article would be better as a redirect. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:57, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Recurring character and major antagonist within the Blake's 7 series. Artw (talk) 04:51, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
