This article has been included in bundled nominations for deletion twice before. My BEFORE search failed to find adequate coverage in independent reliable sources, only passing mentions, so I think a merge with or redirect to List of Battlestar Galactica characters might be appropriate.

Delete - Appears to be a relatively minor character in the series, to the point where his real name of "Alex Quartararo" was never even mentioned within the show itself. I searched for sources under both that name, as well as "Crashdown", the name he was actually exclusively referred to in the show, and did not find much outside of plot summaries of the episodes he appeared in, as well as mentions of it being one of the roles performed by the actor that portrayed him. I suppose I would not be opposed to a Merge to List of Battlestar Galactica characters, but due to the lack of sourcing and minor status of the character within the franchise, I don't think that's really necessary.

Merge to the character list, as I have also been unable to find remotely significant coverage of this character. Jclemens (talk) 23:31, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the character list, nothing to merge really. Fails GNG. Is it time to clean up a bit of the BG fancruft? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:09, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The issue with just Redirecting is that the character is not actually currently included on the character list, so a Merge would have to occur for the redirect to make sense. That's why I leaned towards Deletion - a merge would have to happen to integrate them into the character list, and it does not look like the character was notable enough to warrant that. Though, as a thought, would it make sense to Redirect to the filmography section of the actor that portrayed the character as an alternative? Rorshacma (talk) 15:10, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am not opposed to a merge of a sentence of two, assuming they appeared in more than two episodes. Are they a recurring character? If they only appeared in a single episode, can redirect to that episode, assuming it's notable and exists. Some BG episodes are notable. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:25, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
