AfD last year ended in no consensus, and the article hasn't improved since. Last time the keep votes consisted of one editor asserting that "television and movie appearances suggest notability", and another (topic banned since then from participation on deletion discussions) presented two sources, one of which seems to be just a passing mention in a sentence, the other one is more in-depth but still limited to the plot summary and of dubious reliability (bamsmackpow). (WP:RSN discussion about it did not attract any comments sadly). Sources present in the article don't seem to meet WP:SIGCOV or are outright PRIMARY (comic books themselves). I recommend redirecting this to List of Hellblazer characters. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:34, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of Hellblazer characters - The first comment in the previous AfD says, in part, the nominator is abusing Prod/AfD to try to force someone to work on the article. Starting this one with the article hasn't improved since just reinforces that sentiment and comes across rather tone deaf. Pointing out said user is topic banned is needless grave dancing. I'll ping, the other user you reference, for you. The closing comment recommends an alternative to deletion, which I agree with, but I can't help but wonder why this wasn't proposed as a merge on the article page instead of being brought to AfD. The proposed target currently contains zero information on the character in other media, so a straight redirect is insufficient. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:47, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Hellblazer characters, the relevant section already has enough description of the character, merging anything else would only add more in-universe information of questionable importance. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:13, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You believe adding any mention of film and TV appearances would be in-universe information of questionable importance? I think it would be the exact opposite. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect - What to merge can be decided later on, but this fails to meet GNG in its current form regardless. I don't see any current potential for improvement. TTN (talk) 13:26, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
