non-notable, unsourced minor fictional character bio from C.O.P.S. that amounts to all PLOT/OR/SYNTH. nb: the others have be cleaned-up and this one was missed. Jack Merridew 19:49, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

• Insufficient third person sources to justify a solo article like the other C.O.P.S. characters Delete Dwanyewest (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Decided to strike that Delete, and make it Merge or delete would be better Dwanyewest (talk) 16:09, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

• Merge all the C.O.P.S. characters onto a list, like how other fiction works. 76.66.194.4 (talk) 04:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

• merge but not into a bare list, but a combination article with substantial sections about all the characters. The other articles were closed as merge, but they were not merged, they were merely redirected. Presumably the same interference with consensus will happen here, but there is fortunately no way for the fiction minimalists to prevent proper merging at any times.

• Well maybe these C.O.P.S. character articles wouldn't get merged or deleted if they had reliable third person sources that independently discuss the subject. Rather than the same argument the the fiction is the source information. That's why the wikipedia has guidelines for notability and factual verification. Because otherwise how do we know what an individual is writing about a fictional character is factually based on a fanboy projecting their opinions, providing factually incorrect information or plain lying. Too be honest Mickey O'Malley and Big Boss (C.O.P.S.) should have been merged or deleted as little has been done to improve them also if they are gonna merge it fine but it will end up like the the Turbo Tu-Tone and Rock Krusher nothing of value preserved and only the name redirected .

  • Nice job Jack. :) Okip 21:58, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
• Delete. It is obvious that a consensus has developed that this one-season throw-away TV show does not deserve all these articles, and that there are no secondary sources. Topics without secondary sources must be deleted. Abductive (reasoning) 07:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
• Merge per DGG. The smart choice and comprimise. Okip 21:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
