Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C.J. Stryver
due to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C.J._Stryver&diff=266234357&oldid=265870807 improvements since nomination and per .  Stryver may not be the main character of the novel, but he is a character who has appeared in a dozen film, television, and stage adaptations of it.  if you check what I have been doing to the article thus far, please note in particular that external link, I believe I can compliment the section on "Depiction in the novel" with one on "Depiction in film, television, and broadway" as the character has been portrayed at least ten times in those various mediums (IMDB doesn't list the broadway productions) and I am fairly confident that a scholarly reception section can be added.  Hey, as frustrated as I may be seeing these Baum characters nominated for deletion, I actually see characters from a Charles Dickens book that have appeared in at least TEN (10!!) TV and cinematic adaptations and for which I am able to find not just reviews, but full length scholarly articles focused specifically and entirely on these particular characters, not to mention clear evidence of school assignments concerning these characters. When we start trying to delete articles concerning characters people actually study in school and for which they are the subject of journal articles, we are losing sight of what an encyclopedia/reference guide is. Almost as disconcerting as when I saw someone redirect rather than improve the article on the main character in War and Peace for whom full length dissertations have been devoted, scholars have called the "greatest literary figure of all time", etc. I have way too many articles to rescue at once!! :0 (not sure how to make an exhuasted face...)  Sincerely
