[edit] Brad Armstrong (Home and Away)

Brad Armstrong (Home and Away) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fictional characters from Home and Away with no verifiable sources showing real-world notability, following the precedents set at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ric Dalby (second nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matilda Hunter (2nd nomination). Please review the arguments made in those discussions before repeating them here. Pak21 (talk) 21:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

This nomination includes:

  • Delete all - They lack WP:RS to satisfy WP:FICT, and are mostly just plot synopses or fancruft... please note also the following related articles that have been PRODed:
I would recommend that the closing admin also check to see if they have expired yet, or should someone add them to this AfD? Happy Editing! —72.75.89.38 (talk · contribs) 07:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep all (that does not apply to the four above). Fictional characters are notable, and like characters for EastEnders and Coronation Street, they should be covered. Yes these articles need working on, but that is no reason for deletion. Also, deleting them, without even a redirect, is making Wikipedia a worse place (I always why editors nominate these pages, you may not like them, but they do no harm. There are many pages I don't like and think are unnecessary, but I don't go round AfD-ing them. I prefer to improve and create articles, not destroy other people's hard work, why don't you spend your time doing this?). If a page were to be created where all the characters could be on one page, with a little about each one, that would be good, but just deleting them you lose all information. Instead of deleting, we need to work on them and were necessary merge to a big article. And when I say merge I mean actually merge, not just create a redirect with merge information.--UpDown (talk) 08:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete All per the IP above. These articles do not appear to have any secondary sources to verify them or indicate notability. Lankiveil (talk) 09:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Redirect all to either a List of Home and Away characters or to the main Home and Away article (especially, those characters where(home and away) isn't part of the article name).Garrie —Preceding comment was added at 12:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all no real world sources showing notability outside of the soap. RMHED (talk) 14:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all - not notable and no real world sources.--Grahame (talk) 23:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - The Matilda Hunter article is being deletion reviewed. Auroranorth (!) 01:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
