No real-world notability, not established per WP:MOSFICT or WP:N. Character has only a few appearances in a long running show. The only reference provided is just the common press releases when a new character enters a show. The reference can be used in a list if characters or somewhere else.

 * Non-notability does not automatically warrant deletion. In this case, a redirect to List_of_characters_in_EastEnders seems appropriate. 160.39.213.152 (talk) 23:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, & then consider whether to Merge or Redirect into a suitable article or list of minor characters. Such should be the default way to deal with these, and it does not take AfD. DGG (talk) 03:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * In Prison Break characters merge procedure, in which I participate, we decided to keep characters that have a minimum amount of appearances. And it's a weekly program we are talking about. I can't understand why we should have a redirect for every single character that appears in a soap, even if it has appeared less than 10 times! (and this is nothing for a daily soap played for years). Are we creating redirects for every single player that played in a soccer division in some country? -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the list of characters until there's more to say about him. Stifle (talk) 10:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Stifle. This can always be undone when there is more to say about him or additional sources are found. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 05:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Stifle. The article can be rewritten once there is enough written about the character in reliable sources independent of the program. An arbitrary minimum number of appearances for inclusion would not be appropriate as this is governed (as it should be) by media coverage. B.Wind (talk) 04:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
