Minor fictional character. Article lacks real world information and references. Fails notability for fiction. All useful information (actor's name, character's name, short description) is already in Queer as Folk (North American TV series) in the "Cast" section. Prod was contested. I am also nominating the following related pages:

 * The "Cast" section in Queer as Folk (North American TV series) has 5 lines with descriptions for every single of these characters. Do you think we need something more? The rest that is contained in these articles are plot summary and don't add anything in character's profile. I don't understand what more can have a separate article. According to WP:WAF spin-off articles must very rarely be created. "Very rarely should such spinout articles be about a singular topic (e.g., character, plot item); either that topic has demonstrated its own notability, or should be merged into the main article or existing spinout articles." Right now we don't have a WP:SIZE problem with the main article and the Cast section is well established. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete all. These are characters with no real world impact and the useful information already exists in wikipedia. -- nips (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, although I don't see it as a huge deal. I created one of these pages (Carl Horvath) a few months ago because the other secondary characters in the template had pages, but Carl's name was a red link, and I've got the shows on DVD. I did put some effort into trying to summarize the character and his interactions within the show, although I didn't add any references. This was one of my few wikipedia forays into anything besides music, so I don't really know what's typical in a situation such as this. A "List of secondary characters on QAF"-type page would seem to be sufficient. But if they all get deleted, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 01:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and discuss how much of it to merge on t he approrpiate talk pages. DGG (talk) 02:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Which is the appropriate page? Because I am afraid that if we are not specific a merge could not be performed. -- Magioladitis (talk) 06:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
