Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maria Bertram
It's not a great article - it is totally in-universe and without sourcing. But the same seems to be true of a dozen other articles about the other major characters from the same novel. If that's the norm, there is no reason to single this one out for deletion. And don't quote  to me. In this case it seems that this has become the accepted, standard way to handle the characters from this novel, as well as from Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, etc. Random deletion of one such article would serve no purpose and in fact would be counterproductive. Only if there a consensus to eliminate all separate character descriptions would that be appropriate, and it seems clear that the consensus is rather to do it the way it has been done
