The result was no consensus‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. I don't think a final relist will resolve this difference of opinion regarding what should happen with this article. Also having a Weak Keep and a Weak Redirect, while appreciated, doesn't reveal a strong position on the outcome of this AFD. Liz Read! Talk! 23:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Most sources in the article are primary, a quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters.

 * Comment Weak keep This article has the same problem as most articles about CSI characters: It's bloated and it doesn't cite enough non-primary sources. However, that doesn't mean it's not notable. Let's see what we can scare up. One on Looper that's probably more about the actors: . Here we go! Looper Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:22, 29 September 2023 (UTC) EDIT: Okay, the fact that people are writing about the character in 2022, years after he was no longer on the show, suggests to me that it might be notable. That's without hitting up Google Scholar. Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I find the second Looper source to be trivial since it's a plot summary of an episode. The first one is more about why the actor didn't appear in some episodes of the show. Sources primarily about the character written in a real-world perspective would be better here. Spinixster   (chat!)  04:12, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak Redirect Agreed with nom, but the Looper article is just worthy of one source. I couldn't find more beyond this that also does not complete a routine episode recap coverage. Conyo14 (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect We see some trivial coverage. Not enough to meet WP:SIGCOV, but enough that someone might look for it at the main topic, per WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:43, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. See the following sources with in-depth coverage of the character
 * — this book has extensive commentary on the character
 * — contains extensive discussion and critical commentary on the character.
 * Additionally there are many newspaper articles that can be used as well in a newspapers.com The rush to delete these character articles is concerning as much has been written on the CSI characters.4meter4 (talk) 18:41, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
