Sources in the article are either primary or do not prove the character's notability, a quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to Hannibal Lecter (franchise)#Cast and characters (perhaps not the best redirect target, but I can only think of that).

• Keep meets WP:GNG here's a few links from a couple minutes on ProQuest. [1][2][3] (See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Crawford (character) for my concerns about this set of 8 nominations in 7 minutes) —siroχo 07:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

  Let's see... the first source seems okay for use. Second source is more brief, but I think it's more about the portrayal of the character in the movie. Third source mentions the character more in a plot summary. Spinixster (chat!) 07:26, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

• Comment. Less traction in this AfD so here's a couple more sources to chew on.
  1. Few pages of SIGCOV throughout Dissecting Hannibal Lecter: Essays on the Novels of Thomas Harris ed. Benjamin Szumskyj [4]
  2. Few paragraphs of SIGCOV in The Silence of the Lambs: Devil's Advocates by Barry Forshaw [5]

• Leaning keep. This is not quite the central slam-dunk case as with many of the other characters, but I count sources evaluating the actor's performance of the character as evidence of the notability of the character. BD2412 T 01:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
• Keep the fictional character is notable. Lightburst (talk) 01:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
