Can't see why this character has any notability independently of the TV series. Esentially the article is fancruft. TheLongTone (talk) 15:33, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

TheLongTone, the character has appeared in 116 episodes and 5 seasons. The character has been integral to the main season 13 storyline involving the teaching system of the residents at the hospital and is set to make an exit in the season 13 finale, where the character will be the main focus of the episode, in 2 days after an almost 5 year run on the show. Calling it "fancruft" is completely untrue, considering there are Grey's Anatomy characters who have their own articles that have appeared in around 7-8 episodes like Sadie Harris or 3 season running Teddy Altman with very few references. - thelonggoneblues (talk) 17:21, May 16 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment, so, are you saying this article is a 'keep' (i know as the article creator this may be seen as a given, however ...)? Coolabahapple (talk) 00:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable character - five seasons, 116 shows. Netherzone (talk) 01:04, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Coverage like, coupled with other sources in that section and reception suggest borderline notability. Mostly poor journalism/social media, but probably enough of them together to make a case for having her own page. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not see that this character has any notability independent of the show. That other charcters have articles is to my ming a reason to nominate these for deletion rather than keeping this one. Since the Gray's anatomy fage is as bloated as one might expect, there is List of Grey's Anatomy characters into which they could all be merged.TheLongTone (talk) 14:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Yeh. The character gets covered because of the TV shoe. independent notability does not existTheLongTone (talk) 14:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable and popular character. CloudKade11 (talk) 03:59, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Character appears to have received significant coverage in media (as noted by this Google search here). Aoba47 (talk) 13:39, 19 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep: Apart from what has already been said (and the character's apparent popularity​), the character has drawn attention of notable critics beyond the show's scope (See: here, here, here, and here, and these are not anywhere near exhaustive). Her sickle-cell storyline was credited to bringing attention to the disease which definitely shows that  notability "does" exist. (See: here, here, and here, again not exhaustive.) She has already been dubbed as one of the best characters on one of the longest running network drama, and that just doesn't come about without​ a certain "recognition" (See: here), not to ignore the discussion she stirred on her natural hair and identity.
