Unsourced "biography" of a fictional footballer. No indication of real-world notability and no RS found. Some hits point to non-notable real people with the same name. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 22:11, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This may be notable. I'm not familiar with the TV show, but the main character in a series that ran for 419 hour-long episodes might qualify for an article. Even after they killed the character, they reintroduced him as a ghost! There was recent discussion about sourcing elements of television and film, and it was pointed out that the recording itself is a source. Though not listed in our usual referencing style, this article is sourced by the section "Appearances per Season." I agree that the article requires additional citations, and a quick search found hundreds of usable sources so someone could rewrite per MOS:FICT. This seems to be primarily a style issue and not an argument for deletion. The character definitely passes WP:V. I'm unfamiliar with editing for this subject field, so I'll just comment for now and see what others have to say. Jack N. Stock (talk) 11:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all Dream Team players into one article and trim down. There are not many citations between them, list of players for the TV show would be better. Govvy (talk) 12:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge would be good. It just seems like a project to trim this down (sometimes less is more), but that seems tolerable as it needs to be totally rewritten anyway. Jack N. Stock (talk) 16:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - to Dream_Team_(TV_series)#Cast, a plausible search term but not an independently notable character. Also, this is enWiki not Wikia. Fenix down (talk) 12:50, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect with Dream Team (TV_series). Giant Snowman 17:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. KingAndGod 14:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
