Jaws (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Unnecessary article stub about a non-developed "character" from the film series. The shark in each film dies, so it's not even the same animal in each film sequel. This article is not the same as Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees, characters which clearly are notable, have been developed and have specific personalities.

What more can be said other than "it's a shark"?  Sottolacqua  (talk) 12:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete "Just when you thought it was safe to post a new article on Wikipedia..." New article from a new contributor, welcome, hope you keep contributing.  While this information can be added to the article about the series (maybe Jaws (franchise), there's not enough for a stand alone article.  I agree with the nominator that there's not much that one can say.  To my knowledge, the filmmakers made no attempt to distinguish between the shark in Jaws 2 and the one in Jaws.  Because these are suspense films, the shark didn't get much screen time anyway.  So far as I know, none of the sharks were actually referred to as "Jaws".  Sorry.

 * Delete. The entire character is nothing more than "it's a shark". There is nothing more to the character than that. This could be just as well summed up with one line in the article about the film. J I P  &#124; Talk 20:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Calling the shark in Jaws a "character" is a bit tenuous. There isn't much to say about this "character" except that it is a shark, it bites people, and it eventually gets killed because of its insatiable need to bite people.  Not enough for an article here.  Snotty Wong   babble 20:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Jaws (franchise), which shouldn't be heard because aside from the fact that the character was AFI's 18th greatest movie villain, there's not much else that needs carrying over. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  22:35, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete almost nothing you can say about this "character". Whatever you can say would be redundant to the plot summary and thus a WP:CONTENTFORK. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:24, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
