[edit] Belgarath

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

This article is already contained in two or three other articles about the series. Half of this article is also speculation on the character's personality. Skywolf talk/contribs 20:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

see Characters_in_The_Belgariad . Could be merged. Again some of this is speculation. Is it also so notable as to need it's own page? This goes for all the pages of the individual characters. See Category:David_Eddings_characters . This is an AfD, please do not take offense to this, you may object by posting here with your comments. --Skywolf talk/contribs 21:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
We can keep discussion in this page... WP:NOT says "A brief plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic." and WikiProject Books have an project to write about characters. In my opinion, we can write articles about main character(s) (protagonist and antagonist) and a collection article of list of characters in x. We have an good example of a character article here: Harry Potter (character). And, citing AfD policy: "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion." And about "speculation", we can write about this characters personality, if we only cite our sources. Kahkonen 08:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Characters of notable books are not themselves inherently notable. Notability is not inhereted. /Blaxthos 11:45, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge without significant real world information, this level of fictional detail is not justified. -- Ned Scott 06:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as Kahkonen --Zache 17:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
