[edit] Emilia (Othello)

  • Delete Not notable. Bradcis 05:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not delete Notable as she is one of only three female characters in the play and is vital in unveiling Iago's plot. Certainly more notable than Brabantio "He is a minor character, but provides the backdrop for Othello and Desdemona's relationship.". Emilia is a major character, especially in the climax. raptor 05:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Thought I should mention that I am the author. raptor 07:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 23:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, or at the very least Merge and Redirect to Othello. Shakespeare's works are so important to the literature and culture of the English-speaking world that even minor characters can be considered notable. Rohirok 01:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. In one of Shakespeare's most famous works, every character with more than a couple of lines is notable. Having read Othello a few months ago, I can attest to how prominently Emilia figures into the plot. Given the mass of resources about Shakespeare, the article can be rewritten with a Neutral POV, using verifiable, reliable sources. Notability is not a formal policy and it alone is not enough reason to delete. SliceNYC 01:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Slice and Rohirok. NawlinWiki 15:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
