Deletion of Gage Creed (character)

Comment: per Andrew D.  The article has 7 references. A GSearch for "Gage Creed" Stephen King turns up 30 hits. This completely invalidates the imprecise and false delete rationale: ''Zero real world notability''.  The article may be poorly written at present, but there is ample scope to improve it as per  which is Wikipedia POLICY. Deletion is inappropriate

Comment: since multiple sources establish notability.  Several pointed out by Andrew D, and I have verified some.  The article should be ''improved'' not ''deleted''.   in the WP Notability test says that the sources only need to exist, not be present in the article.  Incorporating them will strengthen the article, but that can be done over time

Comment: The nomination raises some procedural points so let's dispose of those first.  The |prod is one of several https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gage_Creed_(character)&diff=917045708&oldid=916098647 made using an automated tool and using the same cookie-cutter rationale, "''Zero real world notability''".  This assertion was made without evidence and was false because the article stated, for example, "''Hughes' portrayal of Gage was universally acclaimed''" and that's not zero.  The prod process "''must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected''" but opposition should always be expected in such cases because there are obvious |alternatives to deletion, which are preferred per the policy
