Delete. Like 1000 other fancruft minor comic book characters, not notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:53, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a notable fictional character, but delete the crufty nominator of this discussion. --131.123.51.67 (talk) 15:35, 13 November 2019 (UTC) — 131.123.51.67 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Sock of permabanned user A Nobody Reyk _YO! 17:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no indication that this character is notable. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 02:46, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, maybe discuss it in articles about the stories. Nothing indicates real-world significance. Geschichte (talk) 14:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Doom Patrol. After reading the article, I thought for sure it would be a delete, but due diligence WP:BEFORE made me think it's at least a searchable term. The 2-3 sentences he's in almost summarize the article entirely anyway (see #Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol (volume 2, part 2) ), and redirects're WP:CHEAP.
A few mentions in Grant Morrison: Combining the Worlds of Contemporary Comics aren't terrible, but don't meet GNG alone. I saw speculation about future incorporation into the TV show, but you know, WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. -2pou (talk) 19:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete WP:NOT#PLOT, no indication of (in-universe or real-world) notability. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I love this guy and the Morrison Doom Patrol in general but there's just not enough to him to justify a separate article. Maybe redirect to Dorothy Spinner? Artw (talk) 05:22, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
