Wikipedia is not a repository for plot information. That's what most of this article is. The subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG and this would be better contained on List of Stranger Things characters without so much plot bloat. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep There are already sources that assert notability of the character in the Reception section, but I would say that's only a few of them that are out there. Google news gives 8,500 some hits, but I would venture to say a tiny fraction of them are usable - say 1% but that's still 80 usable sources. Fair enough concerns about plot summary overwhelming the reception but that's fixable by triming down. --M asem (t) 19:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Reluctant Keep. There are three reasonably reliable sources which discuss the character relatively in-depth. I don't like that WP is becoming Wikia in re to certain topics but I can't think of any good reason not to keep this. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  20:37, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I question the utility of having any character-specific articles from TV shows on WP. However, unfortunately, this seems to meet the GNG based on the references in the article and the additional RS about the character that exist in the ether (e.g., etc.).
