The result was keep. Mailer Diablo 15:50, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is not an appropriate encyclopedia entry--it is devoted to a minor and insignificant television character, apparently mostly to advertise the little-known actress who plays her, and secondarily to advertise the television show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quentinmatsys (talk • contribs) 10 July 2006
- Merge (a short mention) into The O.C. and Delete. On a sidenote, the photograph is not fair use I think, as the article is not about the arctress but about the character.--Fuhghettaboutit 04:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Character was part of an important and highly publicized arc in the show's second season which involved her relationship with Marissa, and is referenced plenty outside the show as part of a 'lesbian relationship on TV' hallmark. Could do with more expansion and fair use photograph. Nominator also thinks that a convicted rapist of the same name with no current article should take preference over this character in the Alex Kelly namespace. However this is easily solved with a redirect between Alex the OC character (a redirect at Alex Kelly (The OC) already exists which would work for this) and Alex Kelly the criminal.

- Weak keep It's definitely not advertising the character or the actress, and she did play a significant role during her time. If someone were to find appropriate ways to combine character descriptions of the actors in important but less significant OC roles, like, say, Alex and Lindsay Gardner and Charlote... um... I forget her last name... in a few pages, I might support that, but barring that, I can't see deleting this. GassyGuy 06:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Uh, she had a thing with Mischa-Marissa. Can't be that unnotable. (Ignoring the voice that tells me all of this is unencyclopedic.) ~ trialsanderrors 09:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Significant The O.C. character. Also Marissa-Alex is notable as representation of homosexuality in a very popular TV show. --SJK 10:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as notable character in significant TV series. Scorpiondollprincess 16:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'd like to see many of these condensed into Supporting characters in The OC, but I imagine that ship has sailed. -- GWO
- I think that falls under "Be bold". ~ trialsanderrors 22:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, but I agree with Gareth Owen 216.141.226.190 04:13, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
