[edit] Wiley Quixote

Wiley Quixote (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This fictional character has appeared in a newspaper column, a play, and is still appearing on the radio, according to the article. However, I must question whether those appearances add up to notability: a Google search on "Wiley Quixote" turns up only 134 hits; several of those hits appear to be for other users of the name (such as a Marvel Comics character created three years earlier) and when "entries very similar to the [ones] already displayed" are eliminated only 38 are left. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per own nom. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, you don't need to add a vote to your nom as this is not a vote. --Dhartung | Talk 21:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I got in the habit of putting my nomination and my not-a-vote into separate sections for a couple of reasons. It's not unknown for really significant information to come up during the course of an AfD -- positive proof that what looked like a hoax is not one, for instance, or vice versa, or a substantial re-write of the article. I want to be able to change my not-a-vote without leaving people scratching their heads asking why we're even discussing a deletion. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• As to this article, it looks like a stealth bio for the "Appalachian poet Jim Webb"[1]. I recommend a move to Jim Webb (poet). --Dhartung | Talk 21:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

• Move per Dhartung and rewrite the article to focus on him. At least we can source him, and the character can help establish notability for the creator (rather than the other way around). --UsaSatsui 21:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
