Don't be such a Victor Meldrew.
Well, admittedly there isn't a whole lot about Robau NOW, but I can see some 'pre-movie' novel about the Kelvin and Kirk's poppa and Robau coming out in the near future, which could shed more light on the mysterious badass that is Robau!
Maybe someone needs to edit the article again and put in a link to the Robau Facts topic here! Or put all the Robau facts and contributors on a website so we can say "These are the facts!"

6) Injected with Orion's pheromones and stranded on Rura Penthe naked with a target tattooed on their asses and "Klingons are pussies" on their foreheads.
7. Made to watch Voyager translated into Japanese with Klingon subtitles
what about left in a room with Chuck Norris and Robau?
And Batman with a Die Hard battery.
if you give batman 5 min with that battery he'll turn it into a death machine...
7) All of the above.
yes but Captain April wasn't even in a movie.
(yes, yes, but TAS is not a movie).
And he was a pussy. Not at all Robau-esque.

Are you talking April's TAS appearance alone, or the novels as well?
April is a CANON VIOLATION!!!!! Robau is 100% CANON FRIENDLY!

I don't see why Wikipedia has such strict notability guidelines towards certain articles anyway, while allowing other equally frivolous ones to remain. If it's an issue with the amount of available server space (which I've never noticed to be a problem for them so far, but I could be wrong) then it would seem the most logical step would be to prune articles based on amount of visits in combination with notability then, and only then; when it will soon become a size issue. For instance, you wouldn't want to prune an article on a real world school over an in-depth analysis of Jimmy JJ Walker's "Dy-no-mite!" catchphrase on 'Good Times' just because the latter gets slightly more visits.
If someone can write up an article about Captain Robau that fits all their other guidelines apart from the completely subjective notability one, then why not allow it? Isn't that the whole point of having an instantly expandable online encyclopedia? Having a hyperlink in the Trek XI article to a separate Captain Robau article doesn't disrupt anything, and if there's a readership for it, then it survives pruning. If not, it goes.
As it stands now the whole notability policy frequently comes down to some person who has a beef with the subject of the article making a stink about it, often repeatedly. It's totally subjective, frequently unfair, and often doesn't even make sense. Why shouldn't an individual website be able to have their own Wikipedia article if there's an audience for it? Why shouldn't someone be able to write an thoughtful analysis of some background character if they can do it within the guidelines?
Well, agreed. They've gotten down-right snooty in their handling of articles and such there.
"This is serious! We're an encylopedia."
Yeah, they're also on the internet. So...
