This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 16:03, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - as per nom, there are no references ouside of episodes of the series meaning it fails notability guidelines. Million_Moments (talk) 17:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I see [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?rls=ig&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=Roysten+%22Drop+the+Dead+Donkey%22 three reviews] of the show that mention the character's name. I don't think that any of them cover the subject in significant detail. The sole book source is just a note on [http://books.google.com/books?rls=ig&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Roysten%20%22Drop%20the%20Dead%20Donkey%22&sa=N&tab=np casting]. Delete.

:*Spelling update. Just goes to show I should listen to google when it attempts to correct me. Interestingly, I now get [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=Royston+%22Drop+the+Dead+Donkey%22 two news hits] with the correct spelling...hmmm. Thanks for the heads up, Hobit. Protonk (talk) 03:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment It appears as if the correct spelling of this character's name is Sir Royston Merchant. Hobit (talk) 02:51, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge a sentence or two into the article on Drop the Dead Donkey, and delete the rest. - fchd (talk) 08:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
