Non-notable secondary character. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFICT. Doesn't give a claim to literary value or influence. Existing references are more about the actor than the character. Critical, non-trivial references about the character aren't forthcoming. Mikeblas (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Seems to have no independent notability, as all sources talk more about the actor.

Redirect to List of Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. characters#Deputy David Hale - The current article is entirely an overly detailed plot summary, without any kind analysis or references to reliable sources that would allow it to pass the WP:GNG. Searching for sources turn up some mentions of the character in the usual plot summaries or reviews of episodes, but there really is nothing that discusses the character in specific that would indicate notability. As mentioned by the nom, all of the actual good sources that come up in searches for the character are actually about Taylor Sheridan, and how quitting Sons of Anarchy led to his much more successful career as a writer/director.

Delete/Redirect to List of Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. characters#Deputy David Hale. There isn't enough coverage to pass the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:06, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the list of characters. No need to delete, soft redirect will work. The content fails GNG for stand-alone article, pure fancruft. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:16, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
