Coyotito

About a non-notable literary character; verifiable information already included in The Pearl (novel). Spangineer ∞ 14:29, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge/redirect this fictional character. Kappa 16:01, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to The Pearl (novel). It is possible to write an article about a minor character (well, I did it with Glumdalclitch), but not when you're just filling out the who, what, when, and where of the character and no why. There has to be some context offered, some discussion, some placement of this information against the master topic. Otherwise, the information should be in the article on the master topic.

  • That's possible for a character like Glumdalclitch, who actually has lines and interacts with the main characters. But in The Pearl, Coyotito is treated more like a thing of great value, not a real character, because he has no lines or anything. His impact on the main characters is limited to his inate value in their eyes; nothing more. --Spangineer ∞ 13:28, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
