Deleted in May through prod but recreated. Non-notable minor fictional character from an American soap opera. —C.Fred (talk) 02:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non- Notable Character from a show I've never heard of. --Corporal Punishment 03:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Passions, the show on which he appeared. I've never watched the show and I've still heard of him. By a bizarre coincidence, the actor who played this character died in real life the same day the character died on the show. I recommend a redirect rather than a keep because most of the information in this article already appears in Passions. --Metropolitan90 04:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- speedy per G4, for recreating deleted items. Not owrthy of an article in its own right. Redirect to Passions Ohconfucius 06:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, G4 only applies to articles deleted through AfD, and this one was deleted through prod. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 21:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. Restoring an article deleted through prod is a contesting of the prod, so the appropriate next deletion step is AfD. I have two or three articles that I've nominated currently that way. —C.Fred (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Redirect to Passions Doczilla 08:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)No, wait a minute. Keep. I just remembered when this made news. The character was historically noteworthy due to his bizarre nature even before the freaky coincidence involving the actor's death. Doczilla 08:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]Redirect to Josh Ryan Evans (the actor in question), since most of the relevant content is already there and he was the only one to portray the character. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 14:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]- Do you reckon the character name to be a common enough search term to warrant a redirect? Given that historical coincidence, the Evans article is in order. If it helps people find it, I can support a redirect from this to the Evans article, as well. —C.Fred (talk) 22:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to change my vote to a weak Keep, since I just noticed that Evans's portrayal of the role got him a nomination for a daytime Emmy (see 28th_Daytime_Emmy_Awards). That would seem to make the role notable enough within the context of the show to merit an article. Could still use some sources, though; anybody want to hit the library stacks and dig through the back issues for Soap Opera Digest? -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 02:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. Fancruft, but somewhat notable and nowhere to merge ("Passion" seem to have an elaborate set of articles, so it makess sense to keep this one separae as well). Mukadderat 19:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Mukadderat. WP:N is not policy, so even if you've never heard of the show, many many other people probably will have. If enough people watch the show that the article was created (twice), then it seems that this is a valuable contribution to Wikipedia. --Daniel Olsen 19:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
