Non-notable character and fails to pass WP:GNG. No reception of character. lullabying (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• • I looked through the section and did notice that there was some reception but some are from non-notable outlets. lullabying (talk) 07:47, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Chinese sources in the reception seem comparable to our English CBR-and-friends listicles, nothing substantive from the translated content I see. At best, merge the reception to the character's entry in a related list of characters. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:10, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but in Chinese - This article might be better suited for Chinese Wikipedia instead of English Wikipedia.--Blurz (talk) 02:18, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @Blurz: This article deletion discussion only affects the English Wikipedia, and sources in languages other than English are accepted. The problem is that articles for fictional characters need to have reliable sources that discuss the notability of the character on its own and its impact. Tintor2 has a list of examples on his own page that can give you an example of what they should look like: User:Tintor2#Articles with notable work (or more or less). lullabying (talk) 06:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Chinese sources have not been shown to be sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Seeing as there is no article on the main work or author, someone interested in documenting this character should look into sourcing on the novel itself and/or author instead and make articles on those topics should they meet GNG.

  • There is an article on the TV series based on the book. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I've looked at the linked coverage and it's not sufficient. For instance, at [1], it just says that he won "Most Popular Original Character of the Year" at an award; that's great, but it's not substantial coverage. A deletion here is irrelevant to creating a Chinese language article on zhwiki. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
