[edit] Hungry Tiger
Unnotable character from the Oz series. Fails WP:FICT and is unsourced WP:PLOT. Could possibly be merged into List of characters in the Oz books, if that article is given some serious clean-up/overhauling. Collectonian 21:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Notable character. Page needs work. This is a major character in the Oz series. Is Oz less notable than Transformers and Masters of the Universe? --Scottandrewhutchins 00:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Important character in a longrunning and successful series of books by multiple authors. Title character of one of those books. Edward321 05:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notable character in multiple books by multiple authors. Significant coverage can be found in multiple reliable secondary sources: "The Oddness of Oz" by Osmond Beckwith, Kulchur 4 (1961), reprinted in Children's Literature 5 (1976); American Ritual Dramas: Social Rules and Cultural Meanings by Mary Jo Deegan; "The Royal Historian of Oz" by Martin Gardner, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction #45 (February 1955); and "The Father of Oz" by Daniel P. Mannix, A Sense of History: The Best Writing from the Pages of American Heritage. DHowell (talk) 03:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - DHowell has demonstrated the existance of multiple secondary sources covering the character, which is sufficient. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Strong keep with rebuke of whoever suggested deletion. The Hungry Tiger is a major Oz character. He debuts in Ozma of Oz and recurs throughout the rest of the series, including having one book named after him, The Hungry Tiger of Oz. Hiergargo (talk) 19:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
