Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on 2 May 2008. The result of the discussion was keep.

I've tried to cleanup the article a bit. This sort of thing strikes me as "cruft", and from a soap opera besides, but I came across it by accident and decided to edit it. Oh, the shame! Anyway, I removed this bit:

It is suspected that there will be sparks between him and Martha MacKenzie. The two had first met in conflict and Martha swears that she will never forgive him for giving her an unnecessary speeding ticket. When she found out that he was a murderer, she immediately scolded him without hearing his side of the story. After the truth was revealed, she apologises but still finds him to be a "jerk". It is clear that Martha likes him and only time will tell if they go out together.

Couldn't think of a way to clean it up, and felt it couldn't be left in as it is. Someone familiar with both writing in an encyclopaedic style and soapies might be able to tell how to expand this article, but I can't. --fuddlemark 15:25, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

This article is an impressive summary!! For cleaning up the page, maybe it could be done by adding some headings? For example, separating them into groups such as "family" and "love life"? Megan102 02:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jack & Martha this, Jack & Martha that

your just jealous There is too much emphasis on his "on-again, off-again relationship" with Martha. There are more things in Jack's life than bedroom fantasies about Martha. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canberra User (talkcontribs) 21:09, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

It was decided Here that this page should be redirected to this list of current home and away characters. This character by itself does not meet notability guidelines so does not warrant an individual article. The information from this article is well summarized in the list of Home and away Characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.150.54 (talk) 01:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not leave things un signed, and besides, did you have permission to redirect it seeing that the result was KEEP in the recent AFD? That was over three years ago. The articles were re-created since then and this article ws put up for deletion again, but the choice was to keep the article. --Scouser1961 (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
