Non-notable fictional character with no sources for notability. Derild4921☼ 18:37, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On what is the 'non-notable fictional character' assumption based? I assume because it doesn't have all the information yet? If so, this is because I am still editing and writing the proper information for the character. When the show Profiler was on, it was one of the more popular series at that time. --Asdotnet (talk) 19:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then can you provide sources to prove that the character is indeed notable for Wikipedia. Just because a show is indeed notable and popular does not mean that the main character in the show is definitely notable. Read WP:Inherent notability. Derild4921☼ 20:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. Would something like a character page suffice that has all main character and recurring characters on it like this: List of Criminal Minds characters --Asdotnet (talk) 21:04, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, usually the characters who do not enough notability to stand alone are combined into one article as the example you have given. Derild4921☼ 21:45, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, then I'll do that. Thank you. --Asdotnet (talk) 22:04, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem and happy editing! Derild4921☼ 22:07, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Profiler (TV series) for now, then to List of Profiler characters if that is created at some point. Tarc (talk) 13:19, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect: to Profiler (TV) series). No sources to WP:Verify notability, but an editor has agreed to find sources and improve the article. Seems reasonable considering they are new. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
