This article is nominated the 2nd time; this time, I have search this character in Google News and Google Books. The only significant storylines he had were his relationships with Erica Kane and Brooke English. At least he had other significant storylines, such as losing his and Brooke's daughter, battling racism, and relapsing alcohol. Unfortunately, I still could not find any sources that significantly cover him with NO relations with Erica Kane (or Brooke English).

And I cannot propose WP:ATD at this time: redirecting him to "Erica Kane" may neglect how significant he was in the show, the primary source (not counting non-primary sources, I'm afraid), and redirecting him to "Brooke English" may be the same as to "Erica Kane". List of All My Children characters may have an abstract of this character; it is very brief and unreferenced. Richard Shoberg portrayed him for long; both are different people, but someone may favor redirecting to there as "inter-twined". Nevertheless, I'm not favoring either a merge or redirect.

Don't tell me that offline sources are possible; I already know that. These sources are disposable and not circulated in libraries, except some which is small amount and obscure. George Ho (talk) 05:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

In other words, this character may fail general notability guidelines if he is not significantly covered in sources that do not cover Erica Kane, Richard Shoberg, or Brooke English. --George Ho (talk) 05:58, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete unsourced, no evidence of notability, no real-world treatment. --AussieLegend (talk) 10:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of All My Children characters Very long-running character, so plausible search term. PWilkinson (talk) 15:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources can be found that would WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:26, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as PWilkinson recommends. No sources directly covering the character have been presented or located. A reasonable search turns up nothing directly detailing AND meeting WP:IRS. BusterD (talk) 16:43, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
