RFD sense of the fictional character: "Along with Athos and Porthos, one of the Three Musketeers." Neither Athos nor Porthos have English entries for their respective characters. There is a French entry for Porthos however, which does have the character as one of its definitions. As it is French, I'll RFD that separately. PseudoSkull (talk) 22:56, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I doubt that the musketeer Aramis is ever referred to without qualification outside of the specific fictional context. -Mike (talk) 04:57, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here, here and here we see the term used as an archetypal name, without explicit reference to the fictional universe.  --Lambiam 18:55, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected. -Mike (talk) 23:19, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I recall Aramis had some other characteristics than being a Musketeer, womanizer? or noble? was his name ever used to personify these qualities? Troll Control (talk) 12:44, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
