Sources in the article are primary, a quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of Law & Order characters. Spinixster  (chat!)  14:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Redirect. Nothing in the article suggests it meets WP:GNG. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:42, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Comment Very weak keep *krakknuckle* Time for fun with source lookup! First off, this article has no secondary sources, but that's easily fixed. NBC Insider covers some of the basics, but we can do better. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:43, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Found another in Entertainment Weekly... Hitting Google Scholar, but I'm getting bombarded by false positives. Here we go: The Politics of Law and Order, “Whatever she wants”: An ethnography of American women, sex and the internet More in a bit. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:56, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This Entertainment Weekly article names Green/Briscoe as the single best detective pairing of the series. These sources have been enough for me to give the article some secondary support and a small critical reception section. I'm feeling okay, though the false positives and the commonness of the name "Ed Green" leave me with less support for this article than I've had for others. As always, Spinixster has nominated an article on an interesting subject in need of improvement. Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's see the sources.
 * NBC Insider is a promotional source. Per its page, "NBC Insider is your all-access pass to the exciting world of NBC shows and celebrity news."
 * Entertainment Weekly is a basic list article, and I wouldn't use it to prove notability since the paragraphs are quite short.
 * As per the Google Scholar sources:
 * Politics of Law and Order mentions the character only once.
 * "Whatever she wants" source doesn't seem to mention the character at all. Also, note that it's a WP:DISSERTATION.

 * Yes. I didn't put the dissertation in the article. Darkfrog24 (talk) 14:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep In addition to the sources provided above, there is this, and this Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, NBC Insider is a promotional source, so I would not use it. The second source is just the actor hinting at a return, which does not prove the character's notability. Spinixster   (chat!)  01:09, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Law & Order characters. The character is not independently notable, notability is not inherited. Some effort above has been put into finding sources, but per nom.'s comments, NBC is not independent, deadline is trivial, as is Entertainment weekly (arguably primary too), Politics and law is trivial, whatever she wants has no mention. There is no SIGCOV and GNG is not met. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:04, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect To List of Law and Order characters The sources are good enough for a small bio in the greater list.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 20:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
