This does not establish notability independent of Degrassi: The Next Generation through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * Keep Article is not in the best shape but the character is a notable one of the series.  Gloss •  talk  08:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Its status within the series really doesn't matter very much. What does matter is the viability for real world content, and this doesn't seem to have any. The only thing that could potentially be used as a source is a series guidebook, but that only contains brief summaries of the characters and information about the daily lives of the actors, seemingly completely unrelated to the characters. There is nothing else to help it pass WP:N, so potential for improvement seems to be non-existent. TTN (talk)
 * Information on casting the role, reception of the character, etc wouldn't improve it? I believe it would, this just needs a lot of work.  Gloss •  talk  18:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you have them and they're non-trivial, they would help, but I'm not seeing anything of the sort. Google isn't the end-all for sources, but it doesn't turn up one single relevant source from what I can see. TTN (talk) 18:23, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Notability for a television character or episode has to be demonstrated through real world perspective on the topic. It's not enough, for example, to write an article that's effectively an in-universe biography of him and a summary of plots that he was involved in — nor is it enough to be able to source it only to fansites and episode summaries. If you actually have real news coverage (not press releases, but real coverage in real media writing about it) about the role's casting and/or reception of the character, then yes, that's the kind of perspective that could potentially justify a Wikipedia article.

 * Redirect to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters. The redirect was legit.  There's nothing here but plot details.  The page can be recreate later if someone eventually does locate real-world information from reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:23, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Character list. The article's "sources" are public databases and not "real world". —  Wylie pedia  14:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
