Royal Tenenbaum (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Doesn't need a seperate article, doesn't provide any information not given in The Royal Tenenbaums, and there is no information that could be added to it to give it more detail than the film article. SGGH ^speak! 23:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The entire article is a plot summary, and does not have potential to be expanded beyond that point, as there is no additional information about the character to be added, as he character is not of any significance other than within the context of the film.

• Redirect or Delete Redirect to The Royal Tenenbaums or Delete. Tinkleheimer 00:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, the film article is the only mainspace that links to it, so I guess a redirect isn't needed. SGGH ^speak! 00:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • But that doesn't take into account the possibility that someone could type in his name as a search term. -- Kicking222 00:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment A merge/redirect would seem to be in order. ~ Infrangible 02:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, a merge doesn't seem necessary, and it is a plausible search term. hateless 02:32, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete under WP:FICT then redirect. As the name of a key character it is a plausible search term. He's a great character and a terrific turn by Hackman but I don't see the outside significance. --Dhartung | Talk 03:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless real world reliable sources are found to give significant coverage Corpx 04:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect The character isn't notable enough for his own article, but it's certainly a viable search term. -- Kicking222 00:08, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect. Notability is not inherited; he is not notable unless there has been outside-universe, credible, third-party sourcing about him (rather than just something related to him).
