No evidence this fictional character passes WP:NFICTION/GNG. Prod contested in good faith by new WP:SPA User:Mrsjkoster who wrote "This article is about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER--a made-up person in a series of novels.  Please do not delete it.  I've read all these novels and the article contains accurate content.  I have no idea why you expect it to have non-fiction citations when this is a fictional character and the book from which the information is taken is cited directly in the article". To which I will reply, please read WP:NFICTION/WP:GNG first, where you'll see that articles about fictional characters are required to be referenced, and to go beyond WP:PLOT (which this article does not). BEFORE does not reveal any discussion of this character that goes beyond PLOT and in-passing mentions that he appeared in two movies and was played by Robards and Macy. I am not seeing any source that discusses this character in-depth outside a plot summary (and frankly, even those are tough, the GoogleHits I see are mostly PRIMARY to Cussler's novels...).

 * Delete or redirect to Dirk Pitt (which should probably be restructured into a series article). There is nothing in the article to allow it to pass WP:GNG. TTN (talk) 17:09, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Dirk Pitt, the article fails WP:PLOT and WP:GNG, as it contains not a single reference, not even a primary one. I could find no references out there that would in any way help this pass GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:27, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
