Not notable fictional character. No indication of meeting Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). Kotiwalo (talk) 13:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Article lacks context and statement of notability. --I dream of horses (T) @ 13:45, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. A quick Google search reveals that the initiator of the article is also the author of the adventures (well, so far only one) of Keith Starr: Mibba. Nothing around which indicates notability. Favonian (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Although I did what I could with the article, my Google searches suggest that it is unpublished fiction, i.e. see what happens when you type in the author's name and the character on Google (no reviews or interviews even). As such, unless if the stories became published and critical commentary comes about, we cannot do much beyond what I tried--in other words we would either only be summarizing or duplicating one author's ideas. I usually support inclusion of fictional characters on Wikipedia, but within reason. They should receive at least some kind of media attention or inclusion in say multiple works of fiction in order to write an article effectively. Maybe the article is WP:HARMLESS, but unless if it becomes an internet sensation, it just seems not much different than if I invented my own character, write a short story on my personal website, and then tossed an article on here. I encourage the author to keep writing and would gladly support undeleting this article should the stories become published or receive reviews that we can use to expand the article. Finally, while not a WP:HOAX and verifiable, we really do need more than just the one author's source here. Best, --A NobodyMy talk 17:15, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
