Vladimir Dracula

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

This is the main character in a Children's BBC series. Although that makes him notable enough to mention in some detail in the programme's article (of course), I'm not at all convinced that he is notable enough for his own article. The fact that he is discussed in sufficient depth in the parent article, Young Dracula, the fact that the article is written in a primarily in-universe style, and the fact that an article containing a list of Young Dracula characters just went through an AfD and was deleted, lead me to believe that this article too should be deleted.

 * Comment. My impression is that the character is covered in the Young Dracula article, and that this is mostly redundant.  But perhaps this should become a disambiguation page between Young Dracula, Count Dracula, and Vlad III the Impaler.  Someone searching for "Vladimir Dracula" may not be looking for this character specifically. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete content as not suitably notable for an independent article, but per above suggestion this should be converted into a disambiguation page as a very possible search term for someone looking for one of the other versions of the Dracula character (obviously one of the links can point back to the TV series article). 23skidoo (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Change to dab or redirect per above rationales. -- Mwanner | Talk 18:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with the series article. Jonathan321 (talk) 20:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Change to disambiguation; what more can I say?. — The Man in Question   (sprec)  ·  (forðung)  21:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Disambiguate per Smerdis. Likely search term for any of the three individuals mentioned. AlexTiefling (talk) 22:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment for closing admin: my initial nomination for deletion can be taken as either a nomination for deletion or as a nomination for deletion and recreation as a disambig page - the reasons given above are sound. Talk Islander 22:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep first time I've seen something starting out "he's the main character ... " that wasn't a keep. It continues to seem logicval to me that the [principal characters of shows are the ones who get the articles. DGG (talk) 01:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
