As my redirect to The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins was reverted, I'm coming here for a discussion, in hopes to avoid what I think is an unnecessary AfD. I believe that this article is non-notable, as I have stated in my edit summaries, based on the Wikipedia guidelines for notability in fiction, specifically under the section of "Elements of fiction", which states:
Elements of a work of fiction, including [...] characters [...] are presumed to be notable if there is significant coverage of the element(s) in reliable secondary sources. For fictional elements, this will typically include the real-world context and analysis of the elements, and can include influence and other aspects of its development, critical reception of the elements, and popularity of the element through readership/viewership ratings and marketing. Notability of an element may also be shown through secondary-source analysis of the main work of fiction, citing the importance of the element to the work. Reputable academic studies of individual elements may also demonstrate notability.
This article currently meets none of these criteria.
I should also point out that the one piece of actual information in the article, about Bartholomew's name possibly originating from the Bible, is directly related to one of the books specifically, and belongs on that article, not here. Since this character only appears in three books, simply linking between those three articles (something along the lines of "Bartholomew Cubbins has appeared in two other books by Dr. Seuss") should be sufficient.
Also, as this character has not appeared in any other media, any other references are most likely to be directly to related to one book in particular, so inclusion on this separate character article would most likely be unnecessary. Mr. Absurd ( talk) 02:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Dr. Robert Short is passed away from this world, so it could not be self-promotion unless you can edit Wikipedia from Heaven. Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
The Whos of Whoville also appear in two different books by Mr. Geisel. Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
I request this article be protected from vandalism, and that only registered editors be allowed to edit it. Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
The late Robert Short was a beloved, noncontroversial, popular author. Das Baz, aka Erudil 15:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
