The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirected to Argus Filch. Already mentioned in target article, so the only decision is whether to delete or redirect, and opinion is split on that decision. Redirects are, however, cheap. ELIMINATORJR TALK 21:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kwikspell

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

A fictional company mentioned once, in passing, in one Harry Potter book. This article is bad original research into a non-notable subject. Deserves maybe a passing mention wherever we cover Argus Filch, but not enough to call this a merge. Contested PROD Sandstein 14:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge the basic information to Argus Filch, delete the rest. Some of the information would be worth keeping if only for more context about Filch's Kwikspell lessons, but the majority of the article is mere plot summary, which is in direct violation of WP:NOT. Any further expansion of the article would have to be original research or fancruft, as the company is indeed only mentioned once (unless it's in Book 7, but I would think the article would mention that, and it's irrelevant anyway). Also recommend creation of a new "Harry Potter" AfD category. Hersfold (talk/work) 14:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge as per Hersfold. I don't think all this info is justified, it is just too much detail about a very minor point. A redirect to Filch might be worth the having. Sandpiper 20:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per above, insufficient real-world impact. --Eyrian 14:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Transwiki per lack of significant coverage from independent sources. Corpx 15:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Argus Filch. Oddly enough, I ignored the banner at the top and was ready to AfD it myself. 17Drew 17:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge per above. This company is only mentioned in one chapter of the series. --musicpvm 22:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per Hersfold Will (talk) 13:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete would not pass WP:N or WP:FICT, violates WP:NOT#PLOT, and since the article on Argus Filch already includes a mention of the fictional company, there is nothing to merge. --Farix (Talk) 12:28, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
