 * Redirect to The Green Mile. In its current state, this article mostly amounts to a WP:OR-type comparison of how this character is portrayed in the novel and how he is portrayed in the film. This sort of material does not belong on Wikipedia. Any comparisons between the novel and the film which are made in reliable sources should be covered in the main article.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect - as above - the article recapitulates the main storyline from The Green Mile with a couple of notes about the film portrayal. Since the character has not appeared in any other work there is no reason to have a separate entry.  Sea photo Talk  08:01, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Please do not make redirects to disambiguation pages, as this invites disambig linking errors, and will be swiftly reverted. Our current convention is to redirect character names to the earliest work including that character, which in this case would be The Green Mile (novel). I would agree with redirecting there.
