Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/No. 18
per nom. Non-notable character with little to no available secondary source material. DGG, the ideas that "an article  can be mainly plot summary when appropriate", and that independent external sources are not required, are entirely in contradiction to the policies of |NOR and #INFO|NOT, as well as the guidelines |RS and |WAF. A subject's coverage in reliable secondary source material independent of Wikipedia is our primary means of establishing that subject's |notability. There are no special criteria or sets of rules for so-called "spinoff articles". The same policies & guidelines about notability and sources apply to ''all'' article topics. This is precisely why we have hundreds of cruft articles about non-notable fictional characters such as every Pokemon, Dragonball Z, and My Little Pony character. There can be information about these characters in the main articles, and there can possibly even be list articles devoted to characters in different franchises, but they are certainly not notable enough to each warrant separate articles. I realize you are more of an inclusionist, but as an admin I'd expect you not to make such statements that seem to directly contradict so many of our core tenets
