Aras Sar Iussan[edit]

Contested prod.

Non-notable fictional character. Carados (talk) 03:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Man I wish A7 would apply to fictional characters. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 04:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I very specifically am glad it doesn't. I think we speedy delete too much as it is, without enough eyes looking with due deliberation. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I note for the record that putting an article up for deletion 18 minutes after creation (after a declined speedy and prod) is not assuming good faith and pretty much a direct violation of official policy. That's not giving the editor enough time to put the article together. And yes, many of us prefer to create articles in several small chunks, because of our connection or worries about edit conflicts or whatnot. "Give the process time, people!" he cried. Tag it for notability and let the thing grow, and THEN bring it here if nothing appears. That said, though, I'm not convinced of that this particular character satisfies the notability requirements of WP:FICT. The book is notable, but not every character. I'm holding off !voting till the end of the AfD to allow the editors time to find reviews, etc. that I'm not finding through Google, but if they don't appear, I'll be voting merge back to City of Pearl. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Non-notable character in what should be a notable book (award nominations tend to confer notability in my eyes). Book article, City of Pearl, needs a lot of work though ... it's basically a plot summary.Kww (talk) 16:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:FICT. Doctorfluffy (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Doctor's diagnosis is correct, as there are no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability. --Gavin Collins (talk) 22:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
