Jack Jones (banker)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

According to this article this is a composite fictional character. As such, not notable and should be deleted. ukexpat (talk) 16:30, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I fixed up the article so it now refers to the subject as fictional, but the character is not notable enough to warrant his own article. Delete and possibly create a redirect after deletion.  If it survives AFD, recommend merging.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  16:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and don't merge. Notable fictional character, subject of critical commentary independent of the writer/director.  "Emblematizes big business"  and "an inspired piece of casting" (in an article that also presents a list of real people who Jones may be considered to represent) .

 * Clearly the article should be renamed, probably to Jack Jones (fictional character). JulesH (talk) 17:53, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * film character, if renamed. Debresser (talk) 22:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * My opinion is merge at most. Debresser (talk) 22:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep history and merge through normal process per 2 specific mentions cited above and per additional improvements to article. Not notable in own right despite multiple small mentions in articles about the movie.  Much better to merge with movie.  If no merger in a few months then re-AFD and delete at that time.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  22:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless there is an actual banker called Jack Jones we should cover, there's no need to rename this. The lead section of the article already makes it abundantly clear he's fictional and modifiers in brackets for disambiguation are supposed to be as short as possible. - Mgm|(talk) 10:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into film article. This has very little chance of every becoming more than a stub, but it can be used to significantly improve a character mention in Nixon_(film). -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 13:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
