This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 21:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and redirect to ReBoot or List of ReBoot characters. Outside that universe, there is no notability. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and Redirect to the character list article. Although I feel the character is major enough and the series is major enough to warrant a separate article, at present it appears the approach being taken to Reboot is to not do this, so I guess if something like WP:OTHERCRAPDOESN'TEXIST were to be an option, this would be an example of that. 23skidoo (talk) 05:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge since all the other characters have been merged, this should too. JuJube (talk) 07:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I see no evidence of real world significance backed up by reliable references. I see further no need for a redirect. Eusebeus (talk) 19:59, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep This is a blast from the past. I remember this show when it first came out. It is really too bad that the main article (ReBoot) is such a mess. GNews sourcing exists, but each is a review of the series and mentions the character in a single line. Two books sources contain the text string (hard to tease out from the tech books). Web sources are mostly not RS, though there could be a couple of borderline ones there. No scholar sources, though scholar doesn't index all humanities journals. I'd {{rescue}} it, but I don't like character articles. I'll tag it since sourcing does exist but might take some work to see if anything is more than trivial.

• Keep or merge protonk's concern could just as well be satisfied by using content here to reinforce the main article. DGG (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and redirect per above. Character doesn't have the notability to have his own article, but fits squarely within the List of ReBoot characters article. Themfromspace (talk) 22:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
