Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ree Woo

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 delete. Consensus falls to delete. WP:FICT does apply, WP:SPINOUT seems a stretch without better explanation of why character is important or significant enough to spinout. Sheer bulk of writing isn't a good reason I think. Pigman☿ 01:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ree Woo

Ree Woo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article was previously prodded [1] in November and deleted. It was then tagged as speedy under A7 [2] in February, but according to the logs it was actually speedied under A1. It was then undeleted out of process yesterday, and the context was somewhat clarified.

A7 admittedly doesn't apply, since Ree Woo isn't a real person (although the version tagged doesn't make that clear). Nevertheless, it still seems to spectacularly fail WP:FICT. An applicable list of minor characters already exists at Tribulation Force (group), although the notability of that article also appears to be in question. Kéiryn ^talk 07:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

• Merge into Left Behind.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 10:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, nothing here to merge. The Tribulation Force (group) article already has all the info it needs. Huon (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or merge to Left_Behind#Characters_in_Left_Behind.--Fabrictramp (talk) 15:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per nom - non-notable. Dreamspy (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - there is a lot that can be written about this notable character. --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • This article has been massively expanded - please reconsider. --Rschen7754 (T C) 03:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
    • There is definitely a lot more in the new version worthy of merging. It still seems to me though that this series has an inordinate number of articles on its characters. Comparing {{Harrypotter}} with {{Left Behind Characters}} seems to indicate that the latter has far more articles on its characters, when common sense says to me that it should be the other way around. I'm going to change my !vote to Merge, but I'm definitely stopping short of withdrawing the nomination. -- Kéiryn ^talk 03:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
      • But why should it be merged? --Rschen7754 (T C) 04:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:FICT by being entirely in-universe, with no references or evidence of real-world notability. Terraxos (talk) 04:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - WP:FICT is no longer a guideline. This article may still fail WP:N, but I think it is an appropriate WP:SPINOUT and merging will make the main article too large. Ursasapien (talk) 07:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - while the article has been greatly expanded, we still don't have any sources. I doubt that secondary sources exist. Currently we have more info on Ree Woo than even the Left Behind website. We could transwiki the info to the Left Behind Wikia, but I don't see how we can keep it without anything resembling reliable, independent secondary sources. Huon (talk) 09:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per Huon Dabbydabby (talk) 17:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
• Ree Direct to Left Behind, since there are apparently still no secondary sources with which to write an article.
