Violation of WP:FICT. Minor fictional characters. No need for article. Merge useful content to one of the four articles on Wodehouse minor characters, and delete or redirect.Wehwalt 09:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• delete. I've just added the info to Minor_characters_in_the_Jeeves_stories (which needs much work) and corrected the link in List of P. G. Wodehouse characters. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 12:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• keep They are a running theme in many of the Jeeves stories, some of which are about them primarily. More could be said about them; I have put the expand template on that article. Minor character is a character not a leading plot element in any story, or a leading plot element in only 1. Perhaps numbers may help on this. DGG 01:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

For all intents and purposes, these are minor characters who have a walk on in a several stories, and a more significant role in one. The single story alone would not make them notable, in my view. How does being non notable in several stories make you notable?--Wehwalt 18:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I would have supported merging to Minor characters in the Jeeves stories, but Squiddy has already boldly done that. Their entry there (along with that of any other character without a separate article) can be expanded. If some enterprising editor adds enough content about them, we can always revisit whether they need a separate article. I think it's a better process to have one article about all the minor characters, then break out articles about individual subjects as needed.--Kubigula (talk) 04:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
