This is an article about a fictional character from Degrassi: The Next Generation, not a primary character just the brother of a primary character who is rarely seen onscreen in the past couple seasons. No sources other than primary material, no assertion of real-world impact or notability. L0b0t (talk) 13:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: (As stated above,) not only does this article not assert notability (which I believe all television characters must because it is so easy to merge them), but it is not notable (thanks, Google). – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  17:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. Fails WP:NOT badly, and is unlikely to ever pass WP:N, as he is a non-main character. The LoC already summarizes him. – sgeureka t•c 17:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Although I do not know the series, it seems from the article that he is a significant figure for at least some of the series. Thus he is appropriate for an article. DGG (talk) 03:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The standard for separate articles on individual TV show characters is sourced and referenced notability outside the fictional universe of the TV series, not significance within the TV series. Bearcat (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. It may be possible to have an independent article on this character in the future but it needs independent, reliable sources and I don't see the possibility of that in the short term. Double Blue  (Talk) 23:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. GreenJoe 23:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. Very few, if any, characters from this series have enough out-of-universe notability to have their own separate articles, actually. Bearcat (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. We should establish redirects from article titles of all characters to this list to pre-empt the creation of such articles. (I know, wishful thinking...) Mind  matrix  22:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above. No external notability. DigitalC (talk) 00:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
