This fictional character from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga is not notable, as far as I can determine. Abductive (talk) 11:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The only sources I were able to find on this character were not WP:Independent (written by the author herself, or not in reliable sources) and thus are not usable for establishing notability. This case is very different from that of Miles Vorkosigan, who has been referenced in, among other things, a review by the Canadian Medical Association. [1]. It is this sort of third-party coverage/discussion that is necessary to establish notability, and I'm not finding any here. Cazort (talk) 13:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to an appropraite character list. Edward321 (talk) 13:50, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Ivan Vorpatril - I know I created this page but she's not quite important enough in the series to even warrant her own page. She should really be a subsection of Ivan. I'll be happy to do it myself once the discussion is over, assuming everyone agrees. Dachande (talk) 17:00, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
