Comment: Thank you for your work on this draft. I am declining it at this time as this article does not adequately cite reliable sources. Source 1, metro.co.uk, is not reliable per WP:METRO. Sources 2 through 6 are YouTube videos, Reddit posts, and Twitter posts, which are user-generated content and not reliable sources. I would also recommend removing all columns except Character, Series, and Ref. as the rest are also unsourced. Source 7 may work for verifying that this character has ADHD, but not for establishing notability as it is a listing to purchase the book, not an independent secondary source. The same can be said of most sources in the Literature section. The film section again relies on a YouTube video.I would like to direct your attention to Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable and secondary sources, and to the helpful page WP:RS/P that allows you to do a Ctrl+F search to see if a source is considered unreliable. Please don't let this discourage you from continuing your work; it is very possible that high-quality sources are out there, but this draft will need its sourcing issues corrected before being resubmitted. Again, thank you for the time you put into this draft. It is possible it could become an article in the future, but it's just not ready yet. Vanilla Wizard 💙 00:27, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
