::*[[WP:N]] requires that the topic must have significant coverage, meaning "that sources address the subject ''directly'' in detail" (emphasis mine). Your examples only mention the Master Control Program in relation to the film ''[[Tron (film)]]'', ''not'' as a separate entity. There is no reason to spin off a separate article. [[WP:WAF]] even says, "Very rarely should such spinout articles be about a singular topic; either that topic has demonstrated its own notability, or should be merged into the main article or existing spinout articles." If anything, Benjiboi's suggestion is more realistic, but I still think that there can be a better effort to expand detail about actors and roles ''within'' the film article. —<font face="Palatino Linotype">[[User:Erik|Erik]]</font> ([[User talk:Erik|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Erik|contrib]]) - 13:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
:::*My search included the word Tron, so of course that's the case. Also, I think your argument is somewhat flawed. [[Luke Skywalker]] is only discussed (I'd imagine) in the context of [[Star Wars]]. But I think we'd all agree he meets WP:N. Where is the line? Searching for "star wars" "Luke Skywalker" turns up only 700 books. If this is 1/7th as notable as Luke, I personally think it belongs here. [[User:Hobit|Hobit]] ([[User talk:Hobit|talk]]) 17:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
::::*I think that the difference is we are talking about a character in one film and a character who has made multiple, significant appearances in different works under a large franchise. I really don't think using [[WP:SET|search engine test]]s really work here because the terms pop up in different manners. "Master Control Program", from what I can tell, is repeatedly mentioned as part of the film's synopsis but is not directly analyzed. On the other hand, Luke Skywalker is critically examined as a character. That's the key difference. —<font face="Palatino Linotype">[[User:Erik|Erik]]</font> ([[User talk:Erik|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Erik|contrib]]) - 18:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' per Hobit. Seems to have substantial cultural recognition. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] ([[User talk:Everyking|talk]]) 06:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
*'''Keep as Merge into [[Characters of Tron]]'''. This is a well-known movie that has real-world popular cultural success. The main article has no characters section, likely because these minor character articles exist. Marge them together as a split off the main Tron article.
