Non-notable television character. While Gunsmoke was a very popular show, this individual character isn't himself notable. I'm not finding any third-party, non-trivial references that investigate this character or study him. AS such, he does'nt pass WP:GNG and the article should be deleted.

Delete per nom. There's a "character biography" on the TV Land website, but that's not exactly cause for notability. Other than that, the only other real mentions were in Gunsmoke websites. The article is very in-universe and does not pass GNG. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 23:02, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect to Gunsmoke, where the character is already sufficiently covered. There's no sourced content to retain/merge. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:06, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect, per the others. There is no evidence of notability here. Vanamonde (talk) 14:16, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
