Vincent (Collateral)

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

Completely unnotable fictional character from a single film. Article is almost completely a repeat of the actual Collateral (film) article, with some OR and trivia added in. Fails WP:N, WP:PLOT, and WP:WAF.-- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 15:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete This is non-notable fancruft. The character does not appear in multiple works to warrant an article of his own. I searched Google for reliable, independent coverage of the subject in mainstream media but was unable to find anything. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - definitely an OR-fest, particularly in the "personality" section. umrguy  42  16:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, or Merge to Collateral or Tom Cruise. No matter that the unsourced article is almost longer than the film, the character of "Vincent" has no notability outside that universe.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - You can find 20 references like this. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 14:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That article's focus is on Tom Cruise, not his character. It does nothing to alleviate concerns of Vincent's notability. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 14:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * With respects Peregrine Fisher, SWik78 is correct. Thos articles are terrific about Cruise and his carreer and only make passing references about the Vincent character. There is nothing even closely resembling the in-depth character anysis of the Wiki article. I have modified my merge accordingly.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete One-off character, article consists entirely of PLOT and OR, both of which it really shouldn't be. – sgeureka t•c 19:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
