This seems like a work of fiction that a group of friends have created. It starts out by saying the character is from a "hugely popular" series, but this fact is unsubstantiated along with the other facts in the article. I found no hits for the character and series. Fictional characters are not really eligible for A7 speedy deletion. In short, Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Leebo ^T/C 13:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete As it stands this article utterly fails the general notability guideline in Wikipedia:Notability: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Springnuts 13:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I still think it is a hoax. — Indon (reply) — 13:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not sure what you mean by hoax though. It starts by saying the character is fictional. It's not trying to make us believe it's true. Leebo ^T/C 13:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete None of this is verifiable, in particular, there are no ghits for the apparently '...hugely popular...' Crypts of the Cousins Grave. No apparent notability and no significant coverage. --Malcolmxl5 14:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It shows some signs of a complete series, Maybe in an small country or other unknown country —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnMustang (talk • contribs) 02:25, July 23, 2007 (UTC)

• It should be noted that you are the article's creator. Your comment was phrased as though you are impartial, when in reality the verifiability of this article is your responsibility as the creator. Leebo ^T/C 02:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The original editor can't even tell us where or how the subject is notable! —C.Fred (talk) 02:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete. Non-notable character in a non-notable series by a non-notable production company with no verifiable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 02:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Almost certainly a hoax. No references provided. Note that all of the blue links in the article link to unrelated subjects. ●DanMS • Talk 04:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The author of this article posted a speedy deletion tag on BBC as an attack article! I think that tells us something about the reliability of this contributor. ●DanMS • Talk 04:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The author also just removed the AfD tag from the article. All his other edits show a pattern of vandalism. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that this article is a good-faith edit; otherwise, I would have speedily deleted it as pure vandalism. —C.Fred (talk) 16:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
