Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Donald Sinclair (veterinary surgeon)
The reason that this article should exist is that the information concerns a major character in a major and very long running franchise, that has been popular around the world for half a century. |other stuff exists is virtually useless in helping here, as all it really says is that you cannot simplistically use other stuff does or doesn't exist to argue for or against an entry. For consistency within Wikipedia, and on a like for like basis, however, I would suggest that for an entry such as this, it would be more correct to ask someone petitioning for deletion to be asked to explain why this entry should be treated any differently from the thousands of other entries for characters in fiction. The only real difference here is that this character redirects to a bio for the person it was based upon, rather than having a entry for the character's name, containing his semi-fictional details and including this bio. It's not possible to do this at the moment because of the extant redirect, and it does not seem appropriate to change that whilst this discussion is ongoing. I'd suggest that the best option would be for the article and redirect to be deleted at which point a proper entry for the character in the franchise can be created
