I'm currently in the process of tagging these, including the 1996 spectators that were created a while back and have been up for deletion for a long time. The older "Quidditch spectator" articles with pictures ''might'' be worth saving as part of a "hub" article, but the 1996 ones I think could just be deleted - there's really nothing worth saving there - no picture, just a mention of some random student that was heard shouting off-screen.

:Any further thoughts? Merge to a hub article or delete?

Does anybody seriously feel that there is a lot wrong with this article that I made? It has enough information to be considered as notable (which is more than I can say for some Death Eater articles).

I disagree with the deletion of said article... it ''is'' notable, as per the notability guidelines. It has "unique, specific information available that can be used to distinguish <them> from other characters in the title of <their> article, in that she is the only one at the graveyard who was identified to have been female. If another one there is proven to have been female that changes the situation, though as it is right now I see no reason to get rid of it. The information provided does ''not'' apply to any other characters, and hence I believe it should be kept with the notability tag removed. --[[User:Hunnie Bunn|Hunniebunn]] ([[User talk:Hunnie Bunn|talk]]) 22:01, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

this article represents, at least as far as i have ever seen in canon, one of the few or possibly only time that an wizard of significant skill(use of wandless magic) has  shown any advanced interest in muggle sciences.

This page should stay. It is linked to the page discussing wandless magic which is a very important page. On the page "wandless spell" is a list of all wizards and witches to have performed wandless magic. As this wizard was never identified by name it is hard for the average reader to recall his use of magic if he has no page of his own. It is also very annoying when another page makes reference to something and there is no further information on the subject referenced. You are usually just left confused and in the dark. This page may not be needed all on its own but it is a very useful support page that strengthens other pages so they can stay on their focus and just link to this reference as a footnote.{{Unsigned|Andre G.

I have done work on this article, and believe it can stand alone as a separate article. Superhuman strength is a noted magical ability in various sources (''Fantastic Beasts'', the ''LEGO'' games, Pottermore, etc.), and I think my edits at least make progress towards showing that. -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User_talk:1337star|Drop me a line!]])</sup> 19:05, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

:Agreed.

I don't think this page shouldn't be deleted as it is fan fiction, not canon. I do however, think it should be redirected to the Fanon page. It is a good theory and I think it should be allowed. I read the policies more thoroughly and found out that there is a Fanon page which I was unaware at the time. I was also unaware that fanfiction weren't allowed to be official pages at the time so I am very sorry about that. Please move this to the Fanon page.

Unidentified bespectacled Slytherin girl

Bespectacled Slytherin girl has enough links that if it doesn't meet the notabiity standards, I believe there's something wrong with those standards. It allows all the relevant info--which admittedly ain't much, but ain't nuffin, neither!--to be collected in one place, which is good for the Wiki. GeorgeTSLC (talk) 04:33, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

It has six links, if you don't include the one on this page, those on talk pages, or the file link for the image. Sorry, but that's hardly anywhere even remotely close to a large number of links. On a sidenote, isn't it about time more of these articles were deleted? We're now over a month in from the introduction of notability. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:51, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
I didn't say it was a large number, I claimed the number was sufficient.
If the wiki keepers are determined to throw away useful information--and I know it's useful because I wanted to know it, and this was where it was accurately and clearly set forth--then my protests certainly won't stop y'all. Nevertheless, I'm obliged to say that such a result, esp. for a wiki of only a few thousand pages, seems to me a shining case of implementing the perfect as the enemy of the good.
