Despite being a decently recurring character and notable antagonist in the classic era of the show, I just can't find any good sources referencing Borusa outside of passing mention. I feel it's possible for him to keep his article, but he needs additional sources that I just don't think exist. As of right now, he doesn't meet SIGCOV.

• Weak keep There's an attempt at secondary coverage here, so I think this should have the opportunity to be built up or at least merged elsewhere. U-Mos (talk) 17:52, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the List of Doctor Who characters. I don't see the attempt at secondary coverage User:U-Mos notes - no reception or analysis section, just plot summary all the way through (backstory, appearances...). Fails WP:GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete/redirect per Piotrus. I also don't see enough WP:SIGCOV to write a meaningful reception/analysis section. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Once again, List of Doctor Who characters can't be a redirect target as it is a redirect. Another suggestion?

• Redirect to List of Doctor Who villains (maybe that's what people meant?) The work done on the article is impressive but from the sources I am able to access I would have to agree that they do not clear the WP:SIGCOV threshold that no original research is needed to extract the content. I would say mentions in plot summaries that are then strung into a story of the character are in, or at any rate uncomfortably near, OR territory. -- Visviva (talk) 03:35, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment List of Doctor Who villains is a reasonable redirect target. The target can also be revisited through editing. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:28, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
