This character does not establish notability independent of The Howling (film) through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so the coverage in the main article is enough detail. TTN (talk) 00:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to The Howling (film) and merge heavily condensed plot details as per WP:FICT. Also the name itself makes for a reasonable redirect. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Does not establish notability through significant coverage of real world context in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Jay32183 (talk) 07:53, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

• Keep and discuss the redirect or merge elsewhere. as usual. Establishing notability is not necessary for a merge or a redirect. Unless one can show why they arent suitable, one shouldnt even propose for deletion.. DGG (talk) 16:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Nothing to merge, since it's not referenced. No references, no notability, no verifiability. -- Mikeblas (talk) 04:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
• Any reliable credit listing that is not IMDB would show this is verifiable. Not being verified is not a valid reason for deletion, not being verifiable after trying is. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
• Delete & Redirect: One time character in a film that showed me a vagina for the first time, just thought everyone would like to know that ;) Ryan4314 (talk) 05:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep or merge and redirect. Laurent paris (talk) 14:31, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep because although some of the references provided are offline and therefore can't be appraised in the same way an online reference can, an effort is being made to demonstrate notability and I don't doubt more references could be found. I do encourage the article's current "rescuer" to redouble efforts to this end. Boston (talk) 08:13, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
• Delete no independent notability. Eusebeus (talk) 00:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep due to coverage in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eddie_Quist&diff=256832266&oldid=255528453 reliable secondary sources] some of which even dicuss the character from an analyitical perspective thereby establishing notability. Article now referenced and improved since nomination. Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 00:10, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no indication that any of the references provided are non-trivial. The existence of a potential redirect target does not make AfD verboten, no matter how many times that argument is advanced. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:12, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Per Boston and A Nobody (who said it best...and first). Ecoleetage (talk) 13:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Moderately well sourced in third party sources. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
• Keep too big to merge, notable. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:19, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
