[edit] Mulgarath

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

Unnotable fictional character that fails WP:FICT. Completely unsourced, mostly plot with original research and editor opinions about the character. Already adequately covered in the Spiderwick article. Collectonian (talk) 18:35, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Might I just point out that the other characters in the Spiderwick Chronicles, namely Jarred, Simon and Grace have articles so why can't Mulgarath? --Illustrious One (talk) 19:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll reconsider if you add secondary references. Addhoc (talk) 20:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Wrath of Mulgarath.--Addhoc (talk) 20:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Nonnotable fictional character, per nom. Lacks sources to verify content. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 20:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Reviews of the books rarely mention this villain except in passing, so unless something comes out of the reviews of Nolte's performance, this character doesn't pass the notability guideline. (The protagonists do, however, get noticed, and thus their articles.) OTOH, movie reviews should be coming out Real Soon Now. Merge into Spiderwick (the encompassing series article, as he appears in more than one book). —Quasirandom (talk) 20:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect back to the parent article. This appears to be largely original research; no sources independent of the work of fiction itself are cited, no real-world context OUTSIDE of this article appears to exist. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 21:21, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

  Which parent are you suggesting as a target? —Quasirandom (talk) 22:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• I mentioned him in my review of the book on Amazon. I thought he was a fantastic villain. Anyway I think we should wait till the film comes out before we delete it just to see if we can get any primary sources from reviews with Nick Nolte or whatever. --Illustrious One (talk) 01:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable and no real world context. Ridernyc (talk) 01:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Nonsense And Addhoc, The Wrath of Mulgarath is a stub, unlike this article which is long, well-written, informative and provides a broad range of information on a variety of subjects. --Illustrious One (talk) 15:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
