[edit] Miss Elsie Thornton
Not only is this a minor fictional character that doesn't warrant an article, the article is unsourced and unreferenced. MovieMadness (talk) 16:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom as non-notable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

- Merge with Peyton Place from with it is linked. (Though I think this might one of those cases where it makes more sense for a non-notable topic to be its own article to avoid cluttering the main, notable article, but I don't think Wikipedia has a policy for that.) --Mdmkolbe (talk) 18:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Merging with Peyton Place makes no sense, since far more substantial characters are not discussed at length. I believe delete is the best course of action. MovieMadness (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Reply. That may be true about Peyton_Place_(novel), but Peyton_Place_(film) lists and discusses (in their own articles) the other characters at similar length. --Mdmkolbe (talk) 22:07, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Reply: The other characters who have their own articles were far more significant to the plot than this one was. MovieMadness (talk) 20:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Reply. Maybe you are right, but without something or someone to back that up, such a claim is completely subjective, even if I agreed with you. The only indication one way or another that I could find that isn't OR was that according to IMDB that role was first billed. At least on the face of it, this indicates the role has a significance to the plot. --Mdmkolbe (talk) 15:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
