[edit] Speedy Deletion

I've placed a {{hangon}} tag on the article, requesting that it not be deleted. Personally, I think we should merge all the short articles about Wild Cards characters into List of Wild Cards characters and make those articles into redirects, as now recommended at Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). The problem here is that, as I understand things, the GFDL requires us to make the article into a redirect, as opposed to deleting it and creating a redirect. (I agree that we should not have an article here, but I say we should have a redirect.)

Could we please have some time to discuss this? I don't think the Wild Cards articles are high on anybody's priority list (certainly not on mine!), so it will take weeks or even months to check for consensus about the merge and then (I hope) do the merge. Cheers, CWC 11:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I find this and other WC profiles to be nicely written and certainly worth keeping in some way. This one specifically does have room for some improvement - for one thing, it could well make some mention of what happened to her after the second infection. Luis Dantas 06:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

As she was a viewpoint character in three books of the series, I don't really think she qualifies as "non-notable". She's near the center of several plot arcs; her recruitment into and recue from the Masons, as well as her involvement in the Astronomer's revenge plot and her discovery of Hiram Wrchester's involvment with Ti Malice, seem like enough to qualify her as a notable character. --Noclevername (talk) 02:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
