The result was   merge to The Creature Walks Among Us. There seems to be a consensus for merge or redirect, urging a "merge" as the article on the film itself does not have any significant sourced info on this character. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:18, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

This character does not establish notability independent of its film through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of original research and unnecessary plot details. There is no current assertion for future improvement. TTN (talk) 14:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page because it is also an article about a character of that same movie:

 * Redirect to The Creature Walks Among Us. - Mgm|(talk) 16:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nominator TTN, who cited WP:PLOT, WP:Verifiability and WP:N violations as reason for deleting the article. This is very odd, the articles for the movie characters Marcia Barton and Jed Grant were created 7 months before the article for the actual movie The Creature Walks Among Us.

 * Delete and set redirect  to The Creature Walks Among Us. No notability outside that universe.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep since sources have been added The requirement for notability outside the universe is imaginary. The notability of a character is because they';re a significant character in a significant work. That's what works discussing them will discuss--not that the character becomes real and walks the streets, not that someone makes a joke and nominates a character for a real office, or names a child after him, or the few other instances where a character in fiction might conceivably have "real" significance.

 * Merge. Not notable enough for a separate article; remove all plot re-hashing and it should fit nicely in a character section somewhere. Mr. Absurd (talk) 01:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
