Non-notable fictional character. Information better suited in individual book articles, or the (non-existent) article about the series. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 13:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Published on a website? Abductive (reasoning) 13:51, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While the character may not yet be well know in the US the character is well know in Australia and New Zealand and with the release of the second book of the series in Jan 2010 the character will most likely become more recognized. The article has been linked to the pages Jack Heath (writer) and The Lab (novel) (the first book of the series currently available in the US) which each have their own article. I don't think this article should be deleted as the article is not orphaned and is linked to two other relevant articles however prehaps this article could be merged to Jack Heath (writer) or The Lab (novel). If this is best please let me know how to merge it over. Thanks! --Kayley6 (talk) 14:05, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Only the short story was published on the website. The series has been published by Pan Macmillan in Australia and New Zealand and by Scholastic in the US. I have re-written this part of the article to avoid misunderstanding.--Kayley6 (talk) 14:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete/Merge~~ The character has no general notability outside of the series. I could support an independent article if examples could be found of influences outside of the books, e.g. notable musical references (songs/bands/etc/.), secondary uses of the character (~~comic books~~ graphic novels, computer games), any sort of notable pop cultural reference. The article is well written and should easily be able to be absorbed into an article on the series (if that is determined notable) or an individual book.Vulture19 (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep/Merge: I guess this article would be best merged to The Lab (novel) the first book of the series which this character is from.--Kayley6 (talk) 23:51, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No notability outside the novel. I would have said merge to The Lab (novel), but that article also fails to indicate notability by any WP:SECONDARY source. Merging would just make that WP:PLOT-only article a longer plot-only article. Pcap ping 13:30, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Retitle, and use as a base for an article on the series. I agree there is not sufficient notability as distinct from the books to make a separate article justified, but we can probably take the occasion to expand the coverage beyond the single article on the author (& incorporated within it the contents of the article for the first of the series The Lab).

Keep, Retitle, and use as a base for an article on the series. I agree with the above post. --Kayley6 (talk) 07:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - I've struck the article's author's first two !votes, leaving only her most recent. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 17:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Lab (novel). Primary author seems to have indicated understanding (and, if not necessarily agreement with, acceptance) of AfD discussion and seems to be willing to merge this article to The Lab. Such a merge would undoubtedly make The Lab a better article. Vulture19 (talk) 00:21, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
