This fictional character has no significance or influence to the show All My Children. This article has been previously redirected to "List of All My Children miscellaneous characters" which was then-active yet now-deleted. List of All My Children characters mentions this character very briefly. However, this character and this article do not meet WP:GNG: 1) she has been not mentioned in soap opera periodicals, besides in articles of the actress who portrayed this character; 2) she has not been mentioned in non-soap periodicals, such as TV news, newspapers, TV Guide, and internet news; 3) no one, not even soap opera fans, knows this character at all or are experts of this character at all; 4) I don't know at all or am not interested with at all this character and her storylines; 5) her storyline made no influence to the show at all. This article is not good enough to meet WP:ATD (i.e. to be redirected to List of All My Children characters): 1) its entry does not mention storylines and reception which are very essential to help articles stand themselves well, and 2) other characters, such as Ryan Lavery, were either barely influenced or not influenced by her at all, based on the entry from the list. Previous revisions previously violated WP:PLOT and copyrights and have become inaccessible. I don't see hints of violations in the current revision of any other kind aside from lack of references.

 * Merge to List of All My Children characters per WP:ATD. I'll note that the nominator has been blocked for, in part, WP:POINTy AfD nominations. Jclemens (talk) 00:50, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with a requirement that the information be truly merged, and not diminished. I do not completely AGF with respect to merges in this field--all too often the merged material disappears. Additionally, this is one of the areas where Wikipedia is both reasonably complete and reasonably reliable, and we should keep to our strengths. If there were genuine doubt the character existed, or if there was no speaking role, it would be another matter.  DGG ( talk ) 05:36, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
