This article and all other articles nominated in this deletion discussion do not meet WP:FICT. The guideline states "fictional concepts can be presumed notable if they have received significant real-world coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" this article does not meet this. For similar case see Articles for deletion/Brad Armstrong (Home and Away) and all the other fictonal character pages that were deleted as they wern't considered notable (you can see all of them on that deletion discussion page) this is an issue of the relevant wikipedia policy, and in my oppinon this article does not meet WP:FICT and hence should be deleted.

 * Comment I'm comfortable with the merger suggested (and done?) by Paul20070. Hobit (talk) 18:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into a combination article as a first step. if one or more of these are particularly notable and some tv critic has written about them, which might well be the case if it really is a major series, then expand again that one or more into a full article.DGG (talk) 15:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect The information could be merged (respectively) into the following articles:
 * Prisoner characters - Inmates
 * Prisoner characters - Prison Staff
 * Prisoner characters - Background Prison Officers
 * Prisoner characters - Miscellaneous


 * Keep - Prisoner was a high profile TV drama at the time which was character driven. Characters such as Bea Smith and Joan Ferguson were highly notable in their own right and written about alot in magazines at the time. The problem here is recentism more than anything else. At a minimum, redirect into characters as per preceding entry. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
