Completely unreferenced, mostly in-universe, no elaboration of real-world notability to speak of. Closedmouth (talk) 14:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep - since when the quality of an article is a reason to delete it? The Horned King is of course a notable character, even the Disney version alone is notable, appearing in more media than The Black Cauldron. --LoЯd ۞pεth 01:45, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
G10, G11, and G12 are all speedy deletion requirements that are only used based on the quality of an article. Not saying any of them apply here, but we definitely do take that [article content] into consideration sometimes. Killiondude (talk) 06:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep There is lots of coverage of this character in numerous sources. For example, the [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ujRaAAAAMAAJ Prydain companion] has several pages devoted specifically to it. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Keep and tag for cleanup. The subject being covered in multiple reliable sources[http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_user_ldate=1984&as_user_hdate=2009&q=%22Horned+King%22+source%3A%22-newswire%22+source%3A%22-wire%22+source%3A%22-presswire%22+source%3A%22-PR%22+source%3A%22-press%22+source%3A%22-release%22+source%3A%22-wikipedia%22&scoring=a&q=%22Horned+King%22+source%3A%22-newswire%22+source%3A%22-wire%22+source%3A%22-presswire%22+source%3A%22-PR%22+source%3A%22-press%22+source%3A%22-release%22+source%3A%22-wikipedia%22&lnav=od&btnG=Go] and in multiple books[http://books.google.com/books?as_brr=0&as_pub=-icon&q=%22Horned+King%22] independent of the subject, allows a resonable presumption of real-world notability though its coverage in real-world sources. Yes, the article needs sourcing... but that current lack is a surmountable issue that does not require deletion, only improvement. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
