The result was merge to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) characters. The discussion appears to have established that the subject does not meet the notabiltiy guidelines and does warrant a standalone article. (non-admin closure) Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 00:28, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Miner (The Office). This article was bundled with several other articles on The Office characters; the previous discussion showed that the issues were too complex to be handled as a single discussion. As such, I closed the bundled discussion as no consensus and am procedurally renominating each individually. Note that I have no opinion on the article itself; however, I do wish to remind all participants that importance is not judged based on (your opinions of) the character's relative importance in the show, but on coverage of the character in "real world", independent, reliable sources.

- Keep/redirect As I pointed out last time, I see no reason for deletion when this is at least a plausible search term as a redirect to the list of characters. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:08, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Character List. Minor character who "may" be moved up to main cast, except being in the second tier cast of a show doesn't make you notable by itself. No sources exist to offer real world notability or critical analysis of this character. Only significance is appearing in episodes of something, the history of which should be greatly summarized and fit neatly on the character list.

umm isnt this real world notability? http://www.laughspin.com/2012/03/01/lindsey-broad-the-woman-behind-the-offices-cathy-simms-laughs-off-the-vitriol/ --173.59.33.89 (talk) 22:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- this looks like a substantial enough article to keep it around. --RichardMills65 (talk) 01:55, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep—Actually, yes—that looks like a reliable source, and there are others cited in the article. Notability seems to be met for this one. Livit⇑Eh?/What? 23:37, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Just to make you aware, all but two of those sources are episodes or online webisodes. Only two are external independent sources and they're both a sentence saying the actress had been cast as the character. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to a list of office characters. Per WP:ATD, deletion isn't even really a viable outcome: either we merge it (primary sourcing only...) or we keep it as a separate entry (Sufficient RS exist). Jclemens (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep--notable major character on the show. Robert K S (talk) 03:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) characters. Not significant or notable enough for a separate article. Theoldsparkle (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect as above to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) characters]. Major or minor character, the sources don't back up need for separate article. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect as above to List of The Office (U.S. TV series) characters]. -- Joaquin008 (talk) 21:06, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's spelled C-a-t-h-y. --173.59.33.89 (talk) 05:43, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to the character list, not enough individual notability but no reason to outright delete.--Yaksar (let's chat) 08:58, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
