Minor character who appeared a less than a month ago in the show (see WP:RECENTISM). Fails notability per WP:FICTION and WP:SOAPS. Article contains no real world information (only actor's name and first appearance on the show). There is no evidence that the character can play important role in the show. Prod was declined by unregistered user without giving a reason and without making any real changed to the article (he just added an unreferenced sentence).

• Comment Because this is the third time in a short period that an unregistered user contests one of my prods without giving a reason and I notice that some registered users support it I want to remind that according to WP:PROD: "Editors should explain why they disagree with the proposed deletion". -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as per WP:FICT as the article does not indicate any real world notability.

Change to Keep After doing more research and looking those articles listed below i believe that this character has recicved suffecient real-world coverage to demonstrate notability of a character as per WP:FICT. And my understanding is that this character has potiental to recicve even more real-world coverage. Printer222 (talk) 11:30, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Support Keep I have found some additional weak sources. It may be worth doing more looking into this character on something like Lexis Nexis as that could provide better quality sources. [1] [2] [3] Seddon69 (talk) 11:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comment The articles describe a clever plot turn. The character may develop to an important one. But right now there is not enough information to have an article for him. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect and merge content to List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters. Doesn't currently have sufficient notability to warrant own article, but has had some real world coverage, which is likely to increase as the character becomes more established in the show.

• Either Delete or Merge to List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters. A new minor character that does not merit a separate WP entry at the moment. Nsk92 (talk) 18:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge. We don't have enough material to support a seperate article right now. -- Nips (talk) 22:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
