Merge per 65. It's a popular series. I don't know about the novels, but he's a regular in the television shows. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm not sure how you can say it's a popular series so it should have unreferenced character articles, then merge them into a list without any references either. If there are sources, why don't you cite them? It's a popular series with it's core audience, you need to prove it's notability for the rest who have never seen the series that might want factual information.RAIN*the*ONE ^BAM 04:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a list of characters. LoCs are generally accepted for TV/comic/video-game series (like here), so let's not worry about notability but stop the creation of more unsourced plot-only character articles. Any cleanup efforts like trimming or sourcing can then take place in one article-list and isn't spread across a dozen articles. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
