Not a notable character. Most sources go to "Critical reception", but said reception is extremely trivial at best (oh, "one critic" confused him with a baseball player, how excellent). AdoTang (talk) 15:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to List of Left Behind characters. There is some passing discussion but not enough to meet GNG criteria for a stand-alone article, IMHO. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep He is one of the main protagonists in Left Behind — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.149.194.55 (talk) 07:33, June 6, 2021 (UTC)
 * Your point? I could make articles about the main characters to everything, but if there's zero coverage other than some rando confusing him with a baseball player, it won't stay up for long, now will it? AdoTang (talk) 14:24, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The Left Behind series had immense cultural impact during the late 90s early 2000s. I think the fact that he is a main protagonist who had survived during the series tenure is worthy enough for inclusion 47.149.194.55 (talk) 11:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * This isn't a FANDOM wiki. Him surviving a fictional series of events means nothing. And "immense" cultural impact doesn't mean we have to give it an entire web of articles. For example, there's no page for Steve and Alex, the default player characters of Minecraft. But there's a page for the Creeper enemy. Why? Because the Creeper is an icon of the Minecraft series, and it's actually discussed by real people. Same here. If it's discussed enough by people who aren't nameless critics with nothing to say about it, maybe it'll stay. And if you have the sources to prove it, and they're not just trivial mentions, please do share them. AdoTang (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Dear anon, you need to cite your sources to prove this character is significant. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge very selectively to List of Left Behind characters; in-universe fancruft doesn't amount to an encyclopedia article. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 16:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Selective Merge to List of Left Behind characters, clearly has not received the coverage necessary to pass WP:GNG, but his entry at the list could stand to be expanded somewhat. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:18, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
