One time character created for movie Batman Forever and has not featured in any comics/films since. Not notable enough to be part of popular culture. Ryan4314 (talk) 03:47, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask why? Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect. Reasonable search time. No need to an AFD. Pburka (talk) 17:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect back to Batman Forever. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 10:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep major figure in an important version, though not exactly canonical. DGG (talk) 00:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Restore redirect to Batman Forever. --EEMIV (talk) 00:31, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a RS'ed character, played by a notable actress, in a major motion picture. DGG, I've got to disagree with you on the canonicity bit--the fact that this character is absent from other incarnations of the story is irrelevant: this character, in this film, stands or falls based on her own notability, not as part of some elaborate mythos. Jclemens (talk) 06:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... and see Google News for additional sources which would be suitable to add to the article. Jclemens (talk) 06:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • In regards to what you said about "a RS'ed character, played by a notable actress, in a major motion picture." I respectfully disagree, that criteria would allow an article for every character a famous actor has portrayed in any big film. Ryan4314 (talk) 11:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Many of the sources found on Google News are just reviews of the movie Batman Forever. There does not appear to be that much to say about this character beyond a reiteration of the plot of the movie in which she appears. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge casting section with Batman Forever. One-time characters rarely ever need a separate article, and the current article state doesn't justify a stand-alone article either (WP:SPINOUT). – sgeureka ^t•c 11:20, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge casting per Sgeureka - everything else is plot. Artw (talk) 16:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and improve. Nice start. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 18:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A notable character in a major film. The first love interest of Batman shown in a movie, that wasn't originally in a comic book. That also makes her notable. Dream Focus 21:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I respectfully disagree, I don't think being the first love interest in a Batman film, not to have originated from the comics, makes this character notable. Can you find some sources where perhaps some critics or film-buffs might agree with you. Now I think of it, Rachel Dawes (from the last 2 Batman films) is also an original creation, thus diluting the claim further, I believe. Ryan4314 (talk) 00:53, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You may all be interested in this, List of Batman supporting characters#Love interests, I didn't know it existed. Ryan4314 (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• That list is woefully inadequate! Where's Batman's most famous love interest? Pburka (talk) 03:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• LOL that reminded me of Encyclopedia Dramatica. Ryan4314 (talk) 11:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
