The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Deprodded by an editor who never provides a useful deprod rationale despite being asked. Ping Hog Farm who endorsed the PROD as well as User:JCC the Alternate Historian]] and User:Trantium7 who left recent comments on the article's talk regarding potential for keeping/merge. Right now, the best I can think of is to redirect this to List of Thomas & Friends narrow-gauge engines, through note that we have emerging consensus to merge that list to List of characters in The Railway Series (please comment at Talk:List_of_characters_in_The_Railway_Series#Merge_from_List_of_Thomas_&_Friends_narrow-gauge_engines if you haven't yet).

- Comment for what it is worth this article dates to 2004, it seems we did not begin to develop any real notability guidelines for characters in fiction until 2006. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:15, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
