Article contains mostly trivia and not enough encyclopedic information. Only lead contains valuable information, which could easily be moved to The Naked Gun. Character is not notable enough on its own for its own article, and should deleted or merged to The Naked Gun. –Dream out loud (talk) 22:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Merge into The Naked Gun. Not notable enough for a stand-alone article. --Crunch (talk) 01:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The nominator is arguing for merger not deletion. There is no single obvious merge target as this is the lead character in multiple movies and a TV series. "not enough" is not a reason to delete and there are plenty of sources out there if we want more. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:05, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Colonel Warden. A notable character. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Famous character, instantly recognisable. Clearly notable.scope_creep (talk) 17:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Merging to The Naked Gun would be confusing, as the character also appeared in Police Squad. JulesH (talk) 17:09, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has independent, non-trivial RS mentions already in article. Merge would be confusing, per JulesH. Jclemens (talk) 23:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Main character from major motion picture franchise-easy keep. Are they going to try to delete Luke Skywalker next? Zane Murphy (talk) 13:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep of a notable character of a notable franchise... who receives continued coverage in multiple reliable sources. With respects to the nominator, applicable guidelines fully support this article. Because yes, as there is no one place where it might be merged, and it is well sourced as a stand-alone article.
