This article contains nothing but plot summary. It treats its subject as a real-world person, and does not assert notability of this particular fictional character. Essentially, it is fancruft that contains absolutely no real world information. This should be deleted per WP:What Wikipedia is not: "Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the reception, impact, and significance of notable works."

 * Merge to List of NCIS characters Sceptre (talk) 20:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- Mr. Gibbs is already covered at the List of NCIS characters. Moreover, there is no suitable content to be moved there, because this article is entirely unsourced. Reyk  YO!  21:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and rewrite this is of course exactly how not to write such an article--the fairly rare failure to even mention that it's fictional--it actually links to the REAL equivalent--and the really excessive detail. But he's the principal character of a a major show, and so a full account is appropriate. On the other hand, the discussion in the combined article is equally a poor example if it is to be the only discussion. either expand that one properly or reduce this. It doesn't matter, as long as its done right. DGG (talk) 07:04, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Sceptre. The more commonly known name Jethro Gibbs already redirects there. JuJube (talk) 12:37, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * then there should be an article on him as well. DGG (talk) 15:49, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Sceptre; unacceptable as an article about a fictional subject. That's not to say an acceptable article on the subject couldn't be written, but this isn't it. Terraxos (talk) 22:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
