The article is currently unsourced, and I have been unable to find any reliable sources about this character. Therefore, the character fails GNG. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:10, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Tor retrospective after Hatch's death seems to contain enough RS commentary to count as one, which is more than nominator found, which suggests that there are others out there on a more probable than not basis. Given the age and cult status of the original BSG, there are almost certainly dead tree books covering the character, and that the nominator has been unable to find them does not mean they don't exist.

Weak redirect to List of Battlestar Galactica characters#Original_1978_movie_and_series. The source Jclemens found seems good, but GNG requires multiple sources, which I interpret as at least two. We have one. If any other source is found, ping me and I'll reconsider my vote to a likely keep. If not, one source does not, I fear, warrant keeping this as a stand-alone article, but that source should definetly be used in the list (or in the article if kept). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:02, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've turned it into a dab, as that's effectively what it was; I'm not sure it warrants an article... Josh Milburn (talk) 07:54, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect or selective merge, per Piotrus. Character has some WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs that we can WP:PRESERVE, even if it does not have enough to qualify as WP:SIGCOV. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
