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 Law & Order characters. Spinixster  (chat!)  11:42, 27 September 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment This article needs non-primary sources, to be sure, but I'm not sure none exist. This character was a major part of one of the most influential programs on television. Here are some hits on Google Scholar: Main search with summaries. I'm getting better quality on Google Books: Prospects of Legal Semiotics Women, Violence, and the Media: Readings in Feminist Criminology Lawyers in Your Living Room!: Law on Television Because of the way Google Books' preview function works, I'm not getting a good enough look to say these sources do cover the subject well enough to show notability, but it looks like they might.

 * It seems like the sources only briefly mention the character, so they aren't really usable. Based on the few hits on Google Scholar, I'd say those sources are the same. Spinixster   (chat!)  12:23, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's why I put "comment" instead of "keep" or "redirect." If a character is mentioned a lot and becomes a by-word, like Gomer Pyle, or if a character is so well known that he's used as a measuring stick in professional journalists' editorials about real politicians, like Jethro Gibbs, then that character might be notable enough for an article. Nora Lewin feels more borderline to me, so I'll provide the sources without drawing the conclusions. Darkfrog24 (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete A WP:BEFORE search isn't showing enough WP:SIGCOV. These are trivial mentions at best, and not enough for a separate article. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:38, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
