Agent J

This character does not assert notability outside the films and cartoon series. It is unlikely that any third party sources will ever talk about it outside of the context of the series, so it has no reason to exist. TTN (talk) 19:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Men in Black (film) as it doesn't pass notability criterion as it stands. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 20:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he's the main character in a popular series. JuJube (talk) 22:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my comment in Agent K AfD. Intothewoods29 (talk) 23:55, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Provides (minimal) real-world context as suggested by WP:FICTION. --Canley (talk) 00:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep as a main character I think they are ways to improve this article. I didn't do any research but I think someone can find real world information somewhere and add it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:49, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the same reason I gave for the Agent K article. Lead characters in fiction franchises are notable. Two major motion pictures and a television series syndicated worldwide constitutes a franchise and J was a lead character in all three. 23skidoo (talk) 05:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither WP:NOTABILITY nor WP:FICT say that "Lead characters in fiction franchises are notable", so I assume this is your personal opinion. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(Delete and) redirect to Men in Black (film). Violates WP:NOT#PLOT in its purest form and is not needed as a spinout at this time (plot is already summarized in the film articles). Would be okay as a search term though. – sgeureka ^t•c
Keep As above, one of the principal characters in a major fiction, will be covered in sources--if even Pug is, he surely will be--, and presumed to be notable as are all major characters in works as important as this.DGG (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per DGG. Edward321 (talk) 05:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
