The character fails WP:GNG. In reading through sources listed, and searching for new sources, almost none of them address Elio, rather than the film or Chalamet's performance in the film (very few listed sources discuss the book). The few sources that do address the character either aren't independent, or don't meet SIGCOV.

This page should best be merged into the film and book, with some text being most suited to merge into Chalamet's page. (I suspect though, that very little information from this page that is worth keeping will be missing from other articles.) Redirect to the book seems most appropriate, although a case could be made for a redirect to the film, being presumably the more popular of the two. — HTGS (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Call Me by Your Name. Reception looks nice at first glance, but it is made up of mentions in passing and reception for the actor, not character. Does not seem to meet WP:NFICTION. Fancruft... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks Piotrus, nothing to disagree with your conclusion, but it seems WP:NFICTION is an essay, and the relevant guideline is WP:GNG? Clearly there are some debates going on about deletion of fictional elements, and I don’t really have a dog in that fight, but it seems a little odd to cite policy that provides no guidance. — HTGS (talk) 20:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  HTGS, Right, but NFICTION is a useful reminder that "no, we don't have a special rules giving fictional topics an easier time". Hence, a reminder - and it does clearly direct everyone to GNG anyway. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:39, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect, the character isn't notable independent of the book/film. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:24, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect unless more substantial sources can be found. As of now, it should remain part of the parent topic. TTN (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
