 * Keep, unless you want all Degrassi character articles deleted. It is like all the others, which gets its info from the TV series. 117Avenue (talk) 17:57, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, I have added three citations. Ng.j (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to List of Degrassi characters. This is a prime example of fancruft and extreme minutia.  This minor character's history should be summarized in no more than 3 to 5 sentences.   PK  T (alk)  01:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - Per above Ng.j (talk) 13:46, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Struck; you have already expressed a "keep" opinion above.  Sandstein   13:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to List of Degrassi characters per WP:POKEMON WP:NFICT. The three sources are insufficient to establish notability (due to lack of independence or reliability or depth of coverage): one derivative guidebook, one is from a not reliable website, and the third, and interview with a passing mention of the character.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 15:02, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seems to have sufficient citations to continue development. Mathewignash (talk) 10:35, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The number/quality of existing citations isn't relevant. He's a fictional character and of minor importance to the series, therefore there shouldn't be an article.   PK  T (alk)  16:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge and/or redirect to List of Degrassi characters. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:28, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to the list. None of the sources actually address the character in any great detail and I couldn't find anything else by searching, so he would appear to fail WP:GNG and WP:NFICT on his own. Alzarian16 (talk) 15:04, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
