Fictional characters

One of Wikipedia's core, non-negotiable policies is that of verifiability: that articles must be supported by reliable sources, namely those which have some form of editorial control and are independent of the subject of the article. It is perfectly possible to create good articles on fictional characters (see eg Pauline Fowler), but articles on characters which are solely repeating the character's role in the fictional work and have no chance of being supported by reliable sources, as is the case with these characters, simply do not belong in an encyclopedia.

Verifiability is not negotiable. It is one of Wikipedia's five pillars (as part of the NPOV policy) and as such is explicitly excluded from ignore all rules. While you may feel that it should be excluded, that is not the consensus of the community, so you will need to abide by it if you wish to contribute here. If you wish to write a good, well-sourced article on Morag Bellingham (and by the way, I did watch Home and Away as a kid) then feel free to do so, but the current article just isn't suitable for an encyclopedia and as such is a good candidate for deletion. --Pak21 (talk) 11:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Also see Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) ... characters who have only been on a few episodes, or who have only been in the cast for a few weeks (like Dr. Lewis Rigg or Martin Bartlett), are not notable enough for articles of their own ...

Speedy deletion nomination of James Marcus Haney

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on James Marcus Haney, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
