Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Willy (Character)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Speedy delete as an article created by a blocked editor in defiance of a block. I am aware that closing an AfD that one has already participated in is not normally acceptable, but this seems an occasion when WP:IAR applies. If anyone disagrees, please reopen it, and no doubt someone else will make the same closure. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:03, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Willy (Character)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable character that seems to be in-world of some piece of fiction, but who knows? Individual characters from this book do not have individual notability D  P  18:41, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep — It is a character from the book and the series Maya the Bee. It is much known.--Toмa646 (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * That it exists does not make it notable .. we have stringent notability requirements on the English Wikipedia D  P  18:47, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * How many resources are required?--Toмa646 (talk) 18:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

The significance of the article also indicates that there is the Czech Wikipedia.--Дед Мороз (Toмa646) (talk) 09:27, 12 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. No evidence at all of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. (Also, if the article is kept, it will need a total rewrite from scratch, for several reasons, including the fact that it is written using English words, but those words are not fitted together into English sentences, making parts of the article totally incomprehensible.)

 * Note: I have now discovered why the article is in such an appalling attempt at English. I put the lead of the Czech Wikipedia article cs::Vilík (postava) into Google translate, and what I got out was word for word the lead of the English article. As well as explaining the ridiculous "English", that means that the article is a copyright infringement. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:24, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
