King (Snow White): We all know the Queen, but who knows that there was a King too?  The article is just a very poorly referenced (two footnotes) plot summary (very short, since the character is barely mentioned) and then more plot summary of various adaptations.  WP:FANCRUFT trivia, I am afraid, failing WP:GNG and WP:V , which at best can be redirected to Snow White .  My BEFORE, for the record, yielded nothing.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 13:30, 19 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete This character is not notable.  The article does not include much information besides plot summary, because it can't.  The redirect would not be helpful because Snow White does not mention him and this is a very unlikely search term.  QuicoleJR ( talk ) 13:54, 19 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I researched this first, and finding almost nothing, then came to the article to see whether it cited any sources.  It didn't.  The almost nothing was JSTOR 539520 , telling me that "there is only a passing reference to the king at the start of the story".  And apart from cast details that are already in the movie articles, this is pretty much what this article says over and over, too.  I cannot find any critical scholarship that has taken notice of this character in things like Mirror Mirror .  Even the reviews of that movie pointing out its variations from the Disney/Grimm versions largely ignore this character.  There really isn't scope for an article on this.

AryKun ( talk ) 17:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or merge with Snow White upon establishing a character section that would list the characters including the minor ones in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE .  Plus, his page was established when other media adaptions have expanded his background like the different movies (particularly Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman ) and Ever After High as one of you has previously mentioned.  I can't say if the live-action version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will feature the King like the musical version did.  We'll just have to wait and see.  -- Rtkat3 ( talk ) 18:08, 19 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per nom and others.  No valid sources in the article and searches do not provide any evidence that any depiction of this extremely minor character has ever been notable.  Agreed that a redirect would be pointless as this is not a plausible search term.

Rhino131 ( talk ) 14:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete Most of the page discusses his lack of apperences.  The character is non-notable I dont think redirecting is necesrry given how minor the character is.
