I can't see that this character satisfies WP:GNG; IMO it sould be a redirect altho I am not sure whether the actor or the series would be the best target. TheLongTone (talk) 11:24, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Neutral at the moment, but if this is going to be redirected, it should surely be to our article on the first series of Fargo, not to our article on Freeman. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:41, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep RS already in the article, plus a cursory review of the Google News links above, demonstrate that there is adequate independent RS coverage of the character to merit a separate article per WP:GNG. I agree with J Milburn that, if redirected, either as an (unsupportable, IMHO) outcome of this AfD or later editorial decision, Fargo (season 1) would be the appropriate redirect target.

Comment: Also somewhat neutral, but I definitely wouldn't delete, but redirect to Fargo (season 1). The article needs much more work to be able to stand on its own, mainly because the character article doesn't have anything that isn't already covered in the season article (plot, reception). Would also like to point out that the same editor also created articles for other Fargo characters: Lorne Malvo, Molly Solverson, and Peggy Blumquist – which are all about the same in terms of content as this one.

Redirect to Fargo (season 1), which is most likely where visitors would start to look for the character and what tells more about the character than its own separate article. Two-thirds of it are about Freeman's performance. — Wylie pedia 13:22, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect as there's still not the needed substance for its own article and there would not be any because it's only a TV character. SwisterTwister talk 20:40, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

~~Redirect~~ per Wyliepedia. I could see there being sufficient coverage for a separate article, but I'm not convinced that there is at this time. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:11, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Struck as the article has been expanded. No opinion at this time. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:30, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or else we might have to do the same with Lorne Malvo, Molly Solverson, and Peggy Blumquist. GazetoBic (talk) 02:13, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a pretty poor argument. Maybe deleting those other articles would be the right option. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:30, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's why I said "or else we might have to do the same with" those articles. It is quite strange that the OP just picked only this article out of the four of them. --GazetoBic (talk) 18:31, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Still, this can't be taken into consideration if it's simply tossing "other articles" and not actually commenting about this one per se. SwisterTwister talk 19:17, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep . As the creator of article, I have added many things (full out Plot Summary, Reception, Casting and other production notes) that wouldn't be on Fargo Season 1 wikipedia page. Joef1234 (talk) 05:28, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's still not enough to suggest its own convincing article, there certainly is going to be information, but not enough outside the series to suggest his own convincing article. SwisterTwister talk 19:17, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Doesn't the fact that the Martin Freeman was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his performance of the character add to his notability? Almost seems like a SNOW keep to me.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 04:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
