Identical set of problems as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/King (Snow White) has. Minor character from fairy tail, plot summary + information on who played him in some modern adaptations, very poorly referenced, no analysis/reception, and my BEFORE finds nothing. There is a bit of coverage of the Huntsman from the modern The Huntsman film series, but not much outside plot summary/casting, although the existence of that franchise makes searching for this already generic name hard :( Fandom has an unreferenced section on character development, that is arguably better than what we have (https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Huntsman_(Snow_White_and_the_Seven_Dwarfs)). Can anyone find anything to rescue this? The best I find is the use of the character name in the title of this minor academic article, but contents seem to ignore him (or at least my search of the pdf fails to turn anything of use). Otherwise, we can discuss redirect targets I guess... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:49, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge with the character section of Snow White. There's a lot out there online to find sourcing for most, if not all, of the above. Not sure I understand what this could be a coatrack for. There's just a lot of variations and remakes of the Snow White story. — Maile (talk) 02:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Snow White. Nothing worth keeping as the article is entirely in-universe content. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 23:09, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Snow White - Better than the now deleted King article, since this character actually does exist in most versions of the story. But there is still no significant coverage in reliable sources within the article itself or presented in this AFD that demonstrate that they are a character that is notable enough to pass the WP:GNG for their own article. The character's role in the original story is covered in the plot summary of the main Snow White article, making it a good redirect target. The rest of this article is simply a list of appearances of the character in various adaptations, and those appearances are generally described in the articles for each of those adaptations.
