I can't find any reference to this number being real. It should be deleted because it is not a real number. String Theory¹¹ 06:05, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If this was deleted, the fundamental theorem of algebra, and hence the whole of mathematics, would fall. Bring out the Bacardi, Twilight Sparkle up in the party! FreywaParcly Taxel

Keep. Nominator's argument fails to take account of the fact that Wikipedia allows articles on fiction, so long as they are well-sourced. Many works and analyses have been written about this multifaceted character and its complex setting. —Lowellian (reply) 06:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. You can't prove it's real and I hate algebra. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 07:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
