The result was delete. In addition to GNG issues, there's a copyvio issue in an article consisting entirely of detailed plot summary (ref Wikipedia:Plot-only description of fictional works). Merged intro into List of As the World Turns characters. Dcoetzee 13:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article's topic does not meet WP:GNG. No sources independent primarily of the subject and of relations to As the World Turns have been found, news articles and books alike. No other reliable sources or significant coverages of this character have been found. Also, it lacks real-world context and consists of only plots, which is against WP:PLOT. The fact that this character appeared between Nov 2009 and Feb 2010 makes him either a recurred character or a short-lived lead character. Articles that mentioned its portrayer lacks substantial information about this fictional character. Previous, it was PRODded. George Ho (talk) 01:27, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with similar articles, into List of As the World Turns characters. Jclemens (talk) 03:02, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment- Almost forgot, is this topic worth merging to that list page? Many characters do not have their own abstracted backgrounds; this topic consists of only one actor in that list. How is it worth merging? --George Ho (talk) 03:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; a single (reliable?) source does not an article make. Fails the general notability guideline IAW WP:DEL#REASON. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 06:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
