The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. Few mentions in passing fail WP:SIGCOV. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. Reception section (which also discusses merchandise) could be integrated with the List of Indiana Jones characters. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:54, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I agree with the nominator, but it still has a number of reliable references. -Cupper52^Discuss! 11:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Cupper52, The issue is that they need to be relevant - see WP:SIGCOV. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:47, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Reasonably notable as a character depicted across several media. BD2412 T 04:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- BD2412, But the (very few) depictions are not in depth. WP:SIGCOV, people... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well now you've gone and made me add a source or two. BD2412 T 06:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - BD2412, Thanks for finding [1] although a report on an interview at a local comicon... hmmm... well, it's helpful, I guess, but I am still not convinced we are meeting GNG here. Anyway, is there a reason you did not link to the news piece directly when adding the ref to the article? I had to google to find it... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - I searched Newspapers.com, rather than the internet. You get a different set of results. BD2412 T 04:00, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. My own WP:BEFORE search on Google.com, Google News and Google Books did not reveal a lack of significant coverage which the nominator claimed the topic lacks. In fact, the developmental/behind the scenes section can be expanded even further. Haleth (talk) 06:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Apparently Excavating Indiana Jones: Essays on the Films and Franchise, Randy Laist, ed., (McFarland, April 3, 2020), offers a number of essays discussing the character, but I can only view snippets. BD2412 T 06:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
