This is also pure WP:FANCRUFT WP:JUNK, I’m not sure if this could be merged the article of the actor who played him on Royal Canadian Air Farce as an alternative option of this fancruf or if it is not an option. Pahiy (talk) 16:51, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Air Farce. This was a good faith creation in 2006, when our inclusion rules were a lot looser than they are today — but our rules and standards have been tightened up a lot in the intervening 13 years, and "we always need a standalone article about every fictional character who ever appeared in any TV series at all" is exactly one of the crufty things we tightened up our rules to clamp down on in the first place.

 * Keep, possibly Strong keep, As a Canadian-focused fictional character, reliable, independent sources will be much less prevalent than for fictional characters of U.S. TV series, so I think we need to be more liberal here. This is a very notable fictional Air Farce character, possibly one of the most notable in the 90s and 00s. I'd support a merge of the existing prose into Air Farce without prejudice to splitting it off in the future if the Air Farce article becomes too long. Doug Mehus (talk) 17:11, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Canada has real media (boy howdy does it ever), so there's no need for us to create any special Canadian-specific exemptions from our reliable sourcing requirements just because we have a smaller population than the United States. The idea that we should waive our sourcing rules because they disadvantage certain topics is one we sometimes see in relation to the third world, not in relation to G7 countries with well-established media landscapes.

 * Okay, fair enough,, though I still think the character is worthy of a mention (in a few sentences or so) within the Air Farce article as he was certainly a noteworthy character worthy of mention in the TV series. So, call it a selective merge and redirect to Royal Canadian Air Farce maybe?Doug Mehus (talk) 16:23, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 * He's already mentioned there, and redirect is exactly what I voted for. Bearcat (talk) 16:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Royal Canadian Air Farce. There is no significant coverage to establish notability for a standalone article. -- Whpq (talk) 01:42, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Royal Canadian Air Farce as other editors believe he was an important part of the show. Otherwise I'd just kill it. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 22:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
