 * Delete unless properly sourced by end of this AfD Alf photoman 15:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note No it was followed through with just the article's creator blanked the AFD. Just trying not to look bad...--M8v2 18:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I apologize! I couldn't find that a dicussion page had been created after the AfD tag had been placed.  I realize that the article's creator had removed the tag from the article itself and I did remind them on their talk page that it was inappropriate to do that. janejellyroll 20:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Note Please do not delete this article. I spent a lot of time on researching and gathering very rare info on the character. Many people find this article interesting and helped me troughout putting up a lot more information.--Jack Mercer 23:12, 28 January 2007
 * Note Oo7565, it's not a person it's a character. Jack Mercer, The rare info you found can't be found anywhere else thats a reliable source.--M8v2 22:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note The movie contains footage of birth certificates, tomb stones, etc, that are easily missed on first viewing of the film. Also between production and DVD sale of this movie a commentary, by the producer, has been recorded, this divulges more off screen/alluded to information. Adding to this, the actors, predominantly Garrett, have been increasingly interviewed and asked about their previous characters, whereby they have divulged previously un-marketed information.

 * Note? Heres the info that was lost due to User:Jack Mercer's blanking of the page. It's the reason for the AFD.
 * None notable character from a movie. More important characters in the movie don't have a article. All relevant info is found in the main movie article. Full of speculation over sexuality.--M8v2 22:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note Jack Mercer is one of the four main characters in this film. The actor, Garrett Hedlund - relatively unknown, who portrays Jack is credited aside the well known names of Andre "3000" Benjamin and Mark Wahlberg on the movies jacket and opening credits, and the character of Jack himself appears multiple times in all manner of movie jacket, advertising and trailer... Jack is a main character. Secondly to say that more important characters in the movie don't have an article is false, Bobby Mercer (Jack's oldest brother ~ Mark Wahlberg)has an article, and I've read several sites attempts at compiling information about Angel and Jerry for publish in this forum. Thirdly, all relevant info is not found in the main article; indeed being new to and inspired by this fandom, I found out about Jack's birthdate, the plans for the roof scene and that Jack was originally supposed to survive the shoot out, all from this article. Finally it is correct to state that Jacks sexuality is speculative at best, Bobby converses with Jack; "How have you been, still sucking a little cock left and right?", and latter in the bathroom scene Angel askes a question about a rash, concerned that he has contracted an STD, and Bobby states; "Ask the cockologist here" referring to Jack in the shower. Jack's sexuality was discussed un-biasedly here, in indeed, a more correct forum than the "Four Brothers" main page ~ that doesn't even report the movie divulged history of each character.Lyeac 08:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, contains nothing but in-universe fictional biography. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 23:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note Shall we also delete Daniel "Oz" Osbourne, Julian Sark, Karl Agathon, Cole Turner, Hoban Washburne, or any other in-universe, perhaps majoritly unknown, but none the less, characters? Lyeac 08:50, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
