No WP:RS, fails WP:N and appears to be a WP:PROMO for an accountancy firm. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:49, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Delete - Not notable and does reek a bit like an advertisement. Bakilas (talk) 09:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Delete: No evidence found to suggest that this cartoon character is of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 10:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

That's a shame, the blogs in question in no way advertise the accountancy firm and that was never my intention. I just wanted more people to have access to this information, as HMRC are behaving poorly and getting away with it. The blogs offer insight in a humorous way but also highlight serious matters at hand. I'll respect whatever you decide. I did not intend to break any rules, I'm new and probably should have asked.

Also, I'm happy to remove any mention of the accountancy firm if that helps. JenniferWarr (talk) 14:30, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

{{ping|JenniferWarr}} You haven't done anything wrong. It is just the problem is that there aren't any reliable sources for the character to justify its inclusion in Wikipedia. When I came across it, I had hoped to improve it but because I couldn't find the character anywhere else beyond the accountancy firm I can't. If he is featured in a reliable 3rd party sources then it certainly should have an article but until then, there isn't a way it can remain. The C of E God Save the Queen!

Ahh ok - I've seen it picked up in blogs, Twitter, comments, etc... Maybe I'm just too early. The character's only been about for a few months. Either way, for the time being I'll stick to editing the topics I'm very knowledgable on and perhaps try to set up a page when I have more exp. JenniferWarr (talk) 08:09, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
