[edit] Wallace_Breen
Not a notable fictional character. Less notable than Aloysha Karamazov, who is noted to be not notable enough for own article in notability guide. Ltbarcly 03:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This article is about the main villian from one of the top selling first person video games of all time. It is also a article of high quality. If this is not notable, then so is almost every other Half-Life character except for Alyx Vance, Gordon Freeman, and G-Man. In my opinion, this character is the fourth most notable in the Half-Life series. Knowitall 04:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep As Knowitall says, this is a hugely popular game that has won lots of awards, so breaking things out to cover the topic is not unreasonable. There are dozens of things linked from Template:Half-Life_series that probably ought to be handled similarly for consistency's sake.--Kchase T 04:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Appears to be much more notable than plenty of the other articls in Category:Computer and video game characters, but I'd favour a big purge of them! However, if they stay (and there appears to be no sign of anything remotely resembling a consensus for a purge), this article certainly should, both for relative notability and for quality. --BrownHairedGirl 07:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep as per first keep vote. Macktheknifeau 07:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

- I think this debate has snowballed.--Kchase T 09:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- SUPER DUPER DELETE Alyosha Karamazov is the main character in what many if not most consider the most important russian novel of all time. The notability guide specifically says that this character does not warrant an entry. Nobody can possibly argue that the sequel to a PC video game is more notable than The Brothers Karamazov. Clearly does not satisfy the notability guide, should be rolled into the half life 2 article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ltbarcly (talk • contribs)
- No, that's exactly the opposite of what the notability guideline says. First, it says that Karamazov is covered in the main article because it is short enough to do so. Major and even notable minor characters have their own articles when the main article becomes too long to contain all the information. This is "good practice." Read the guideline, again.--Kchase T 00:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- SUPER DUPER KEEP How could you delete an article about the main villain in Half-Life 2? Why not delete Gordon Freeman while you're at it? - RPharazon 03:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
