 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was DELETE. No policy based arguments from those wishing to merge as to why a large chunk of in-universe text should be merged into the main article. I am willing to WP:Userfy for anyone who really thinks there is something worth retrieving here.  Spinning Spark  14:33, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

This biography of a minor television character is written in a completely in-universe style with no third-party sources to prove notability. A biography of this character of sufficient length and detail can be included in the main article on the series. There is no reason this character needs or deserves a separate article.

 * Merge to a list of other fictional characters from the same clearly notable television series, with no prejudice against an article split-out once individual notability for this character is demonstrated. Jclemens (talk) 02:55, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no such article; all the cast members, both regular and recurring, are discussed in the main article. This should be deleted and redirected there. --- The Old Jacobite The '45  13:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Support proposed merge. Create such an article, and merge these into it. bd2412  T 22:34, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no need for such an article. All of the cast is dealt with in the main article for the show.  Why create an article which is unnecessary? --- The Old Jacobite The '45  13:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to main article. Editing to reduce excessive detail wouldn't be a bad idea, especially as some is likely to be already in the main article. Creating a separate article for cast members is unnecessary and risks ending up as a cruft-dump. Plutonium27 (talk) 20:32, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to a List of Homicide characters article. Gamaliel (talk) 23:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete without merge or redirect: this character is not mentioned on the Homicide: Life on the Street, is he a major enough character to merge this to that page? I suspect not. This is probably only appropriate for a Wikia specific for that program or genre of programs. J04n(talk page) 10:28, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
