Sergio (character)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No compelling evidence of notability. Google search reveals a number of hits at "jon hamm sergio," but they're of the brief mention variety -- typically you'll see one paragraph devoted to his performance of the character in an article reviewing the one SNL episode that this character appeared in. I could not find any sources covering the character itself in significant detail. In any event, it seems like a significant stretch to devote an encyclopedia article to a one-off, non-repeating SNL character. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ bomb  20:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep or Merge. However minor this character is, he does seem to be linked to a very notable comedy group (Saturday Night Live).  Although I do not know if the character is reoccurring, it does seem possible that he could be merged with the "Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches" article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LogicalCreator (talk • contribs) 12:23, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * If you are unfamiliar with SNL, please bear in mind that the show has been running for 37 years now so the list of one-off, non-recurring characters such as this one likely numbers well in excess of...I don't know, 5,000? 7,000? With 37 seasons, 20 episodes per season, and perhaps 15 skits per episode (approximately 11,100 skits all time), we are looking at a huge number. If this character were a recurring character I don't think there'd be any objection to its inclusion. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  13:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. There is no way that this character meets any sort of independent notability.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:00, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete If the only reference about this character is their appearance, that's not enough for our notability guidelines. No Objection to the article being re-created if the character gains the same level of notability of other SNL skits like Wayne's World or any of the other major sketches from SNL.
