[edit] Lamhirh
A fictional character without any secondary sources given. PROD was contested with comment: "main protagonist - notable". I disagree. Notability requires objective evidence, and I do not see any here. The article combines pure plot summary ((WP:NOT#PLOT) with unsourced interpretation of the character ((WP:NOR)). B.

- This is a pretty obvious merge to List of Seikai characters, the character list for the serieses the character appears in, per the recommendations of WP:FICT. Along with the rest of the character articles for the series, as far as I can tell. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Merge, after clean up, to List of Seikai characters. Fails WP:FICT. Being the main character does not equal significant, real-world third part coverage. Collectonian (talk) 01:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep if article is expanded and refs are provided, she is notable as a hero of anime/manga/novels, all of which have above average lenght for that genre. That said, current poor content can be easily merged in the article; same applies to Ghintec. PS. Who came up with those names? The common ones are Lafiel and Ginto... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

- Could be expanded; these novels are some of the best selling sci-fi novels in Japan. But all of the articles need some heavy clean up; they're using the 'correct' spelling given in the guidebooks, rather than the phonetic spelling used in all the English translations. That seems to go against the MOS guidelines... Doceirias (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

- Merge per Quasirandom's and Collectonian's reccomendation. I could not find any reliable sources that would warrant keeping the article. A link to one of the more notable fan sites on the List of Seikai characters would provide the same level of information from a fan standpoint (which appears to already be there). --JadeFox (talk) 01:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep or merge. I'd learn towards keep, simply because it's a main character from a series of novels and of two anime series, and I've seen us dig up enough real world context on characters that had much less than that. So consider me supporting keep, but with a merge tag on the article. And this might be some of my own bias coming out, but as far as fictional characters go, she's far better developed than most (which might indicate some additional real-world context). -- Ned Scott 03:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
