Arnold Jackson (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although the actor who portrayed the character is notable there is insufficient third person information about the character to justify an article therefore I nominate this article for deletion. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:33, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Character is adequately covered in a number of books. Online references will be scant, as the entirety of Diff'rent Strokes happened before the Internet, but the article can certainly be expanded to include appropriate references to the ongoing cultural impact.

 * Keep as above well known character from long running show.Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It may be a well know character but there is no third person info to WP:VERIFY and show it is notable and stating that a character WP:NOTABLE is not a valid argument to keep this article. Dwanyewest (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Dwaynewest's reasoning. Additionally, the amount of information in the article is relatively small and could all be folded into the main article about the show. This seems more appropriate as a part of the show article. Ithizar (talk)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep per my comments at Articles for deletion/Kimberly Drummond (character).--Milowent • hasspoken 21:45, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Using WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as to whether an article should be kept or deleted is not a valid argument. It is also irrelevant whether the character was part of a popular or short lived television. The question is there verifiable independent information which discusses in depth about the character. Also the characters you used in argument Milowent,Alex P. Keaton,Venus Flytrap (WKRP in Cincinnati),Bailey Quarters and Gilligan (Gilligan's Island) in all the instances viable third person information has been found discussing each character article in depth. You have so far failed to produce one reliable source to assert any of these articles are notable. Simply stating WP:ITSNOTABLE is not going to make an article anymore valid.Dwanyewest (talk) 02:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have responded to this misguided comment in the Kimberly AfD.--Milowent • hasspoken 03:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep per JClemens. Sufficiently satisfied that this article has WP:POTENTIAL if you look at print sources instead of online sources. Can nominate again later if we're wrong. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:40, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
