Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doraemon (character)
but first cleanup the article. Westerners may not know it, but Doraemon is one of the most iconic characters in Japan. Up there with Pikachu and Kitty White (Hello Kitty). I know that popularity alone isn't enough to establish notability, and I do know WP:OSE, but |in this particular case, I say for his iconic status alone, he's notable enough for an article. Also, there's reliable coverage of him and his franchise's impact in Japan. And there should also be coverage for the impact he's had in the Philippines (Doraemon is more popular and has been around longer in the Philippines than in America; we even have Tagalog translations of the manga, and the anime is aired here frequently in the mornings). Clearly a notable character. But the article still needs improvement
