My BEFORE yielded practically nothing for Omega. News yielded only content farm articles explaining lore, theorizing about the series, or trivial mentions of the character (The bulk of which were unreliable or belonged to WP:VALNET). Some reviews for his titular episodes were included, but do not include significant coverage that extends beyond the episode itself. Books yielded nothing barring plot summary, trivial mentions, and some brief BTS info, none of which contributes to notability. There's one brief-ish hit in "Religion in Doctor Who", but one source is nowhere near enough for notability. Scholar yielded nothing. The current article sourcing state primarily utilizes PRIMARY sources, trivial mentions, content farm content from Valnet, and one bit of dev info that doesn't contribute to notability. This subject fails WP:GNG and has no WP:SIGCOV. There's a couple different potential articles that can be used as AtDs, such as List of Doctor Who supporting characters and Time Lord, but I am admittedly unsure of which works best.

Delete: The subject fails WP:GNG and is deficient in WP:SIGCOV. Jontesta (talk) 19:14, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Doctor Who characters, which is always preferable to hard deletion. Ping Jontesta. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:24, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  This is an unlikely search term and I support deletion. Someone can redirect if they really think it's important. Jontesta (talk) 19:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I mean even at the bare minimum of not wanting him at the character's list, he does have several topics where he's mentioned a lot (Such as Time Lord above, as well as his major episode appearances, The Three Doctors and Arc of Infinity). He's pretty non-notable, but he is a pretty valid search term, so should be retained somewhere as a redirect. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per WP:ATD. The WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs can be mentioned at the target, and I could see how someone might search with a combination of these words. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:11, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
