Fails to assert any real world notability for the character. Article has been sourced entirely to fan wikis or not at all since 2008. Prod contested without comment. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:26, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TenPoundHammer please check edit comments for DEPROD rationale. In this case it is, "consider merge to Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)." ~Kvng (talk) 20:37, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as lacking reliable third party sources to meet the WP:GNG. Would accept a redirect to the main topic about the series. Jontesta (talk) 18:22, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Battlestar Galactica characters#Original 1978 movie and series, which itself isn't in great shape, but as long as its there, Redirects are cheap. There is not enough coverage to demonstrate why this character is independently notable, and there is no sourced content that needs merged or preserved. The more notable "reimagined" incarnation of the character from the reboot series already has a separate article, so is a non-factor for this character's notability.

• Redirect per Rorshacma and my original (slightly different) suggestion. ~Kvng (talk) 20:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• It's probably a redirect, but Jefferson still does conventions on the basis of this character. [1], [2]. A couple of dead-tree references to the character would clear the notability hurdle. Jclemens (talk) 04:19, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per above, I concur WP:GNG is not met. I also suggest tackling Serina (Battlestar Galactica) next. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:10, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
