Unremarkable television character - little to no notability outside American Horror Story. Completely unreferenced. Tried redirecting to the main series article, but page creator kept reverting, so bringing this here for resolution. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:43, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree that this character does not warrant a stand-alone article. It's too early in the series to say she's significant enough for a stand-alone article, especially since there doesn't appear to be any coverage or analysis of the character in secondary sources. If the other AHS characters had similar descriptions, I would recommend merging to List of American Horror Story characters. In the absence of such a page, however, delete this article. —C.Fred (talk) 20:48, 20 November 2011 (UTC) revised 00:13, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. There isn't anything about this character that would warrant an article to itself. If it was a page of AHS then maybe, but definitely not this character by herself. (Especially since it's been hinted that the second season will focus on an entirely different cast of characters.) At most this would warrant a redirect back to the series.

 * Merge this and other non-notable characters into the list that C.Fred proposes above. The absence of such a list is not a compelling reason to overcome WP:ATD, since this material can clearly be sourced to primary sources, the show is clearly notable (if new), and we generally cover non-notable elements of a notable fictional franchise in list form. Regardless of all of this, this is a plausible search term, that demands, at the very minimum, that a redirect to the show exist, and there's no obvious reason to delete any of this content (vs. simply hiding it under a redirect) if the eventual outcome of this AfD is redirection.

 * Merge (move?) to List of American Horror Story characters. Upon reflection, Jclemens brings up a good point, that this is material that we normally cover in articles on similar TV shows—it's material that's within the guidelines of the TV WikiProject, etc. to cover it. The best solution probably is to stub in the other characters and expand the list, rather than delete it. —C.Fred (talk) 00:13, 23 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking significant coverage in multiple independent third party sources. Feel free to ping my talk page if these are added to the article. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Not enough coverage for a stand alone article. Another option can be to Incubate till we have a article like List of American Horror Story characters. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛  Talk Email 07:40, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. I created a page for the characters for AHS, but it needs an incredible amount of cleanup. I tried to remain as encyclopedic as possible, but writing character pages isn't my strong point. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:53, 29 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
