Non-notable character who does not appear on screen until Spring of next year, therefore violation WP:CRYSTAL. Re-create closer to the time if the character does indeed become notable. WossOccurring (talk) 18:10, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

• Speedy keep - obvious notability, as any companion of the Doctor. More than 60 % of the episodes of the season are already in the box, so the chances of this character being deleted are nought. In addition the character will probably been shown in the trailer at the end of the January 1st broadcast of the final Special. Hektor (talk) 18:35, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

So which aspect of the general notability guideline do you feel this passes? WossOccurring (talk) 18:38, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

One of the two main characters (the Doctor and the Companion) of the highest profile television show in Great-Britain. Hektor (talk) 18:40, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Please name the aspect of THIS document that the article passes. WossOccurring (talk) 18:42, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

This is not a private conversation between the two of us, this is a deletion review. I have said enough. Amy Pond has received significant coverage from mainstream British media when the selection of Karen Gillan was announced. Since most of the shooting has been completed (which has also been covered in British mainstream media), the notability of this character does not violate WP:CRYSTAL as you incorrectly stated. Even if Karen Gillan was leaving the show today for whatever reason, the amount of material already shot guarantees that this character would not be deleted. Hektor (talk) 18:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

One primary source does not satisfy the general notability guide. And I am not attempting to engage in a personal conversation; I am trying to rebuke your argument which reeks of WP:ILIKEIT due to your first comment and past history in editing Doctor Who-related articles. WossOccurring (talk) 18:50, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

• Delete per above. Won't be seen until later this year, and the article is merely a sentence long. Should probably just be added to the Companion page until information becomes available. Ωphois 19:02, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
• Speedy keep per Hektor. There was much news coverage of the character's casting, back in May . ╟─TreasuryTag►quaestor─╢ 19:05, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

  If there was so much news coverage, then why is none of it in the article? Ωphois 19:13, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

  I don't know, I didn't write the article. But if you doubt that it exists, just look for it – as you could easily have done before. ╟─TreasuryTag►secretariat─╢ 19:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

• Speedy keep per Hektor, even though the series hasn't started yet, it's been announced who is playing who, we've got a page for the Eleventh Doctor, and that one stayed even with a handful of citations. I'm sure there will be more reports in the newspapers and such closer to the time. SimonD (talk) 19:21, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

  The Eleventh Doctor stayed because it's an actual article. This article is merely one sentence, and offers no other information than that she will be a companion. Ωphois 19:25, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

  Deletion should be based on subject, not on content. Hektor (talk) 19:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - There's enough on google news to pass the GNG with respect to casting, and tons more to come. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 19:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
