Deletion proposal

1) Jorkens is a well-documented fictional character. 2) GNG quote: if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. 3) why is there an AfD?

Reviews

Should we gather reviews here for possible inclusion? The Kirkus Reviews overview of Dunsany attests to the nature of Jorkens and his club, and the six volumes, for example: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/fantastic-worlds-lord-dunsany/, and I am sure there are reviews in major US and UK newspapers of the 30s to 50s. 86.44.6.212 (talk) 23:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
