No sourcing that indicates this fictional character is notable independent of the film series. Mentions in reliable sources are in terms of plot details/summaries. Article was AFDed previously with consensus to merge to List of Saw characters but that was undone without discussion and the article has been tagged for three years for lacking sources. Article fails WP:NOT, WP:GNG, WP:FICT. Delete and salt to prevent re-creation. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 16:50, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to prevent the material from coming back. Fails WP:GNG - the only sources mentioning this character are plot summaries which are unsuitable as secondary coverage. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 17:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect sounds good to me. I don't see any evidence of notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:45, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Saw Characters#Lawrence Gordon. lacking enough coverage for a separate article, we can at least send readers to where it is logical for this character to be listed. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 08:00, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
