Albus Dumbledore

Template:Tld Not encyclopedic at all. The entire known skills and possessions parts are prime examples. Nobody needs to know that a character in a fictional book discovers uses for dragon's blood or is extremely skilled at transfiguration. This is more of a fan FAQ than an encyclopedia article. Needs to be shortened to a paragraph or two and merged with Harry Potter at best, deleted at worst. Severus Snape 15:09, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep* Clearly in bad faith. -- marie antoinette
  • Strong Keep. User created just to do this VfD, smells like a bad faith nomination to me based on someone's idea of a joke for this username to nominate that article. --khaosworks 15:22, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Major character in popular literature (precedent at Gandalf, Ophelia (character)). I suspect that this nomination is in bad faith. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 15:23, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Vfd is not Wikipedia:Cleanup nor Wikipedia:Requested merges. —Cryptic (talk) 15:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • BJODN this nomination. smoddy 15:31, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong candidate for a Speedy Keep for notable fictional character. Capitalistroadster 15:37, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Come on people - think about it.... look at his username. This is a hoax.  :) Cmouse 15:44, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — Strong precedents for articles featuring popular fictional characters exist. Cleanup is not a suitable VfD criteria. — RJH 15:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. As this brings together information from multiple sources on a well-known fictional character, it is a valuable addition to the Wikipedia.--SarekOfVulcan 16:18, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • BJODN this one. Zscout370 (Sound Off)
  • Keep. Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep! -- Jason Palpatine 16:23, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete 'Wikipedia is not a memorial' (joke) --Doc (?) 17:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Unfortunately, Harry Potter is a notable book and so its major characters. --Neigel von Teighen 17:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. I concur with Capitalistroadster & khaosworks. --Deathphoenix 17:20, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep; BJAODN this nomination before removal. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 17:35, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep this nomination was a joke; the username of the nominator is a Harry Potter reference, and see above comments for more (and though I'm not partial to having fictional characters in the Wikipedia, this one is as notable as needs to be). -Harmil 17:36, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, perhaps BJAODN nomination. VfD is the Avada Kedavra of the wikipedia? humblefool®Have you voted in the CSD poll yet? 18:46, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
    • No, speedy deletion is the Avada Kendavra. These vfds are more like the cruciatus curse for everyone involved. Dear god, I'm such a geek. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:00, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Very bad joke, look at nominators username. We have precedent to keep major fictional characters. - Mgm|(talk) 20:41, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
