- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was redirect to Savage Dragon. There seems to be a clear consensus to not have a standalone article for this fictional character. However, redirects are cheap and this will preserve the content if someone wants to merge, either to the "flagship" article or a "list of characters" style article.

- Delete - No claim to notability, completing lacking in source, and written almost entirely from an in-universe perspective. Given the character's sideline position in the series, I don't think we're going to be able to find any good sources to establish notability.-- NukeofEarl ( talk) 18:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep w/o prejudice to a subsequent merger into a broader article when an appropriate one is created. "Savage Dragon" is a major comics franchise (including a TV component) with a very large number of established characters, who are too extensive to cover in the article on the flagship title. Whether to cover these individually or in umbrella articles is an editorial decision (and a "list of characters" article looks like a much better choice), but wiping out existing coverage because it is woefully incomplete would be a bad choice.

- Delete. Absolutely no assertion of notability in the article currently, let alone any sources. Simply because a character is from a notable book is not sufficient, obviously. mikeman67 ( talk) 16:33, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. A lack of reliable sources. All Wikipedia subjects must have WP:SIGCOV. wirenote ( talk) 16:37, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Re: Hullaballoo Wolfowitz - No one argued we should delete the article solely because it is incomplete. The key issue is notability.-- NukeofEarl ( talk) 14:29, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Not important outside the fan universe. Shii (tock) 17:46, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing but plot. No indication of notability, and Google isn't much help. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 02:17, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Comment alongside Freak Force I am planning on nominating some other Savage Dragon related characters as the quality of such articles are just poor. Dwanyewest ( talk) 02:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- merge and redirect to Savage Dragon. Stuartyeates ( talk) 10:36, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Redirect w/o prejudice to judicious merging -- I don't see sourcing showing notability, but it's certainly a plausible search term and a signficant subtopic of Savage Dragon. -- j⚛e decker talk 23:00, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
