Zen (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) 01:37, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep There are plenty of sources for this topic including The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Famous Robots and Cyborgs: An Encyclopedia of Robots from TV, Film, Literature, Comics, Toys, and More and A History and Critical Analysis of Blake's 7. The topic is therefore notable per the WP:GNG. Andrew (talk) 22:11, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. In and of itself, this is a somewhat marginal decision as Zen 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) 19:05, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
