Flie

Flie is not a character in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. A quick search on Google reveals nothing related to Les Misérables with the query "Flie" or "Flie Les Misérables". Plus, I personally have read Les Misérables and there is no mention whatsoever of this character, and User:Volga Burlak—who wrote on the discussion page for this article—agrees.

Delete: Assuming what you say is true (I never got around to reading Les Miserables), then the character is non-existent and this a joke/hoax. Calor (talk) 13:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Hoax, no such character exists. Even though I knew all ready that the nom was correct, just for the record I found a site to search the text of the book here, and it yields no relevant hits. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 13:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no character of that name exists that I can find (and even if all of us so far has overlooked a character with this name I'm guessing that she wouldn't be notable enough for inclusion. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Its been years since I've seen Les Mis, but I don't remember any character with that name or who performs those actions. And while I guess its a plausible enough hoax that it can't be speedied, its still most likely a hoax, and should be deleted asap.

Speedy delete. WP:CSD says that hoaxes that are even remotely plausible should be left alone. This isn't even remotely plausible. Jasynnash2 and Umbralcorax both seem to know the book and say there's no such character. Xymmax has searched the whole text and found no mention of this character. I've just googled for Flie, Flié and Marquel in the text of Les Mis at Wikisource with no results. I'm tagging the article with {{db-g3}}. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 16:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment just to clarify- its the musical I'm more familiar with, not the book. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
