The first nomination ended in no consensus partly because the nominator was a blocked sockpuppet. Since it was closed with no prejudice against speedy renomination by another user, I'm nominating the article again.

The article is an unneeded content fork of Southland (TV series) because the fictional character Ben Sherman does not meet the general notability guideline. There are no reliable third-party sources independent of the subject to presume notability. All references found with a search engine test, are from unreliable sources or plot description of the series, none that treat the character in detail or with critical commentary, so there is no basis to presume that the fictional character Ben Sherman has notability by himself. The two references within the article are from TNT, the current broadcaster, so they are primary sources that are useless to show notability. On top of that, the article is a plot-only description of a fictional work that seems to rely on original research by synthesis, so I do not see a valid reason to keep the article around.

 * Redirect to Southland. Subject seems to fail WP:GNG, but it's a reasonable search term to spit readers to the series article. --EEMIV (talk) 17:25, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: subject fails the WP:GNG because there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
