Ted Tonks

Garnering 695 googles, how does this stub illustrate notability? Should this be deleted or expanded? --GRider\^talk 20:07, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. We have lots of minor-character stubs for Harry Potter characters. And with the book coming out this summer, it may grow into a quite notable part of the mythology. grendel|khan 20:14, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
• Delete. Minor characters even in popular fictional universes shouldn't have separate articles unless there is something to say about them. Put them on a list somewhere. --BM 20:26, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Fictional genealogy entry. (If he actually appears in the books - I'm fairly sure he doesn't - then merge to Nymphadora Tonks.) —Korath (Talk) 20:43, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete doesnt appear in the book i think. kaal 21:07, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Mr. Tonks' appearance hints at something bigger in Books 6 and 7. ral315 21:19, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. One paragraph, mostly speculation? I'm not impressed. Ms Rowlings hardly makes her books incomprehensible (writing books that are quickly understood is what made her so succesful after all), so speculative geneology is hardly useful. At most deserves a passing reference within the book that references them, not that this article could be bothered stating which book that was. Average Earthman 21:24, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 23:42, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, nn pottercruft. ComCat 02:07, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge if there's a really good place to merge it to. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:51, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as terminally major character. If he actually becomes big in book 6 (which is wild conjecture at this time), it can be reinstated. Radiant! 18:32, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Appears in book 5, but extremely briefly. тəzєті
• Merge if possible - David Gerard 17:43, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Very minor compared to the other ones nominated, so merge if necessary. Xezbeth 10:40, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
