There are no reliable secondary sources to establish the independent notability of this fictional character. Notability of the series does not confer notability onto the individual characters. Tagged for reference improvement for six years but those sources don't exist. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to Airwolf; there is a cast section, but no character section there. Character is not independently notable but a brief character bio would be appropriate.Vulcan&#39;s Forge (talk) 01:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Google News Archive shows coverage in sources in many languages, over multiple decades, for the character, many of which appear to transcend the actor who played him. Jclemens (talk) 01:46, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Google news archives show many mentions of the character that certainly establish its existence but not the sort of secondary sources upon which an article that discusses the character in real-world (not in-universe) terms necessary to build and sustain an article. The idea that the character is somehow more significant than the actor who portrayed him is ludicrous on its face. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:24, 27 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete While there are many Google News hits, I can't see any that could possibly be used as reliable sources. They're all fleeting mentions. Character is not notable.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 15:50, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Airwolf. Fictional character has a lack of real-world notability, but could be a search term which would be a useful redirect to the series itself.   Red Phoenix  build the future...remember the past... 02:04, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
