Fictional character in a one-off film, written primarily in-universe and not demonstrating any significant real-world context to demonstrate standalone notability. This is referenced not to reliable source analysis about the film or the character, but exclusively to the film itself and the filmmaker's own self-made and self-published behind-the-scenes "documentary" about his own process of making it. This is not the kind of content or sourcing that makes a film's central character independently notable enough to warrant his own standalone article, separately from already being discussed in the article about the film.

Delete, 2 primary refs, the character is already mentioned in the film article so I don't see the point of a merge or redirect. Szzuk (talk) 21:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
