A minor spin-off Companion from Doctor Who. While generally notable in universe, I can't find many sources displaying outside notability in a BEFORE. She's listed at the Companions article, so a redirect there could work as an ATD. Pokelego999 (talk) 23:59, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blank and redirect to List of Doctor Who supporting characters § with the Sixth Doctor. This looks like entirely unsourced fancruft to me. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking reliable sources. A redirect is cheap, per WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Still unsure whether this article should be blanked (as in creating a regular Redirect) or fully Deleted.

Redirect to List of Doctor Who supporting characters#with the Sixth Doctor - Minor character that only appeared in spinoff material. No significant coverage in reliable sources to pass the WP:GNG. The character is already listed on the appropriate character list, so redirecting there is sufficient. Rorshacma (talk) 17:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Doctor Who supporting characters#with the Sixth Doctor as AtD, fails GNG no WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject diretly and indepth. Article reads as fancruft. // Timothy :: talk 11:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
