This article fails WP:FICT, WP:NOTE and WP:RS. Limited evidence of independent notability. I have attempted to expand the article in the past, but I could only find a single interview with an actor, and that is not enough to sustain the article. Aoba47 (talk) 16:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect to Bennett and Standish families or List of Passions characters and cast; he is mentioned in both places. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:05, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend a redirect to Bennett and Standish families as the information about the subject is already located in that article rather than the list of characters and cast members of the show. Aoba47 (talk) 16:46, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Merge any content if needed. Avoid redlink bait to recreate the article again, preserves history if ever needed. Montanabw^(talk) 20:31, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw: Where would you recommend redirecting it to? Aoba47 (talk) 13:40, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: relist - if article is to be redirected/merged, a target page will need to be confirmed. Having two ideas as to where the new target should go is no good. Nordic Nightfury 11:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bennett and Standish families I think this is a better article for a redirect as opposed to the list article. Bennett and Standish families can be expanded as well. I prefer a redirect (with history preserved) instead of a merge here because the article is literally unsourced and it would be much better for someone to add sourced information to the target article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:53, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
