Character is not notable enough for its own article. After a search of I could not find anything that would pass GNG. Grahaml35 (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Restore redirect to List of characters in The Railway Series#Percy (NWR 6): it does not appear that the notability (or lack thereof) here has changed appreciably since the last nomination. We might need stronger protection than pending changes, though: this appears to be the fourth contesting of this redirect since the first AfD. (I do get the impression that this is another one of those topics that should be notable in a perfect world, but the actual significant coverage is too lacking, among other factors, to allow for this.)

  I'm not sure any further protection is needed. This can just be redirected without going through another AfD, on the basis of the last AfD. I would support re-redirect and speedy close. Jclemens (talk) 19:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Restore redirect. No need to salt/protect this; there is always a chance for new sources appearing or being located and this being written up properly, with reception, academic analysis, and like. What we have for now is again fancruft, sadly, so redirect and WP:TROUT the author. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect I don't believe an AfD was merited in this case; nothing has changed to indicate the article is notable. But I still believe it should be redirected per nom. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:03, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
