Mostly per the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Cameron and the nominator's rationale there. To directly quote that nominator, "Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary." Gloss • talk 03:30, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to add the following articles to this nomination. Gloss • talk 03:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I think that these articles should be considered individually, they're just too different to be considered as a group. I'd be shocked if there isn't enough coverage for an entry on Joey Jeremiah, for instance. I'd like to ask the nominator, what steps did you take to check the notability of each entry? But if you do want to consider them as a whole you need to put a notification on each page and alert the creator of each page. I'm withholding my input until I have a chance to research the subject a bit more. Tchaliburton (talk) 03:19, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My apologizes, I only just now saw this. Admittedly, it was a risky move putting all of these together. However they all have the same common issues. Notability, lack of coverage in terms of sourcing and finding other information about the characters, etc. They are all covered adequately in articles such as List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters and List of Degrassi characters.

Reply. My big concern is that we need to check each article to see if they meet WP:GNG. According to these guidelines "if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." So a subject may be notable even if the article doesn't adequately show it yet. That's why I asked what steps you took to check the notability of each subject. We also need to make sure each article is properly tagged for deletion. Tchaliburton (talk) 20:44, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In reply to the last comment, yes I checked the notability of each subject and I fully believe that not one character listed is notable enough for their own article. However, for the sake of this particular AfD, I'm going to re-focus it on the J.T. Yorke article, and likely focus on one at a time. Gloss 16:11, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can find reliable sources that confer notability (see here, here, and here). The article needs work but AFD is not cleanup. Tchaliburton (talk) 21:45, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
