Entire "John Matrix" page is 95% the plot summary from the Commando (film) page, with a comedy Facebook page as link. The character doesn't exist outside the film, and doesn't have any fictional biographical details outside of what is given in the film. The character may be notable, but only in connection with the film. Having a separate page for him seems pointless. Zyrxil (talk) 16:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not notable outside the film, and as Zyrxil notes, it's mostly a description of the plot that is already summarized in the article about the film (Commando (film)). I'm not sure where the additional biographical details come from, such as the character having been "born and raised in East Germany" (perhaps that was in the script, source isn't clear). There are links to a Facebook page and a website about famous "badasses", but neither of those seems notable either. If there had been a series of Commando films or even a sequel, this might have become more of a memorable character. I think that most people, however, would say "John who?". As with the names of Arnold's character in "Twins" or "True Lies" or "Last Action Hero", this will forever be the answer to a trivia question. Mandsford (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
