  • Keep - Consensus has long since decided fictional character articles, including in soap operas, can be included. Major character in long running national soap opera. WikiProject Soap Operas (WP:SOAPS) is not a notability guideline, but a project improvement page and in no manner mandates article deletions. If you feel the article should be improved, a wiki-improvement tag is more appropriate, not article deletion.--Oakshade (talk) 03:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment The list of characters can be converted to something like the List of Family Affairs characters. Separate articles cannot be supported without any real world information. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete unless multiple reliable secondary sources can be found to demonstrate notability and to make the article verifiable. Jakew (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per my previous comment. Eusebeus (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, having no real world information is not a reason to delete, but this article has real world information anyway: "He is played by Teemu Lehtilä. Aaro Vaalanne was in serie in the production periods 2004–2006. The character came back to the series in the spring–autumn 2007." I don't see what part of WP:SOAPS this article "fails." It may be preferable to have articles on individual characters of Salatut elämät rather than 1403 articles for each and every episode. --Pixelface (talk) 15:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment It is like opposing an episode article to be merged because it states that this is the fifth episode of the series, so it contains real world information. I think I should write contains no real world information but trivial which it is already found in the list of characters article. Better have a well-organised List of characters with short accurate character profiles than having 1403 character articles with variations of the episodes plots or plot summaries. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
