Wholly insignificant character; player's character in the MOH/COD games might as well be nameless avatars. No claim of notability and zero citations to any sort of sources. This is merely a list of appearances, gameguide weapons trivia, and a listing of "awards" (i.e. military recognitions) garnered by this make-believe fellow. Easily/sufficiently covered in main franchise article. No attempt to address the subject in an encyclopedic manner, undoubtedly because no significant third-party sources responding to/scrutinizing this might-as-well-be-nameless character exist. --EEMIV (talk) 02:10, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete No evidence of notability. Excessive fictional detail per WP:GAMECRUFT. Character's fictional relevance would be adequately covered by a series plot summary. Ham Pastrami (talk) 22:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
  • The fact that it is the major character from a major franchise and is covered in multiple reliable sources means it is notable. Moreover, WP:ITSCRUFT is not really a reason for deletion. Best, --A Nobody 01:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. If kept, nothing of the article could be salvaged anyway. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:53, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
  • The sourced out of universe content is indeed salvageable. Best, --A Nobody 01:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
• Keep another main character of a significant game. How that gets to be called an "insignificant" character is something I do not understand--I think the nom. means to say an uninteresting character, or one without much depth. He may be right, but then the thing to do is to find a source that says it and add it to the article. A character with relatively little to say about him would usually mean a shorter article, but not zero. I'd be satisfied to merge this into the main article for the game, only if there were some guarantee that the material would actually be merged, and once merged, would remain. Since this can be be securely specified, and attacks on merged material are ongoing, the only option for now is keep. DGG ( talk ) 02:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
  • Being significant to a series of video games is so far from being a significant character. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 02:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - The article does not assert notability, and it is very unlikely that the character can actually be developed into anything decent. There is little use in salvaging any of the content, as the the bulk of the article is written like it's documenting a real person. TTN (talk) 03:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
• Delete as above; this is unencyclopaedic trash. Misplaced Pages *is* a fansite, but it's not supposed to be. Jack Merridew 05:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
