I believe this article fails to satisfy notability requirements - I'm not sure if there's any specific policies but none of the main characters from The Inbetweeners have their own pages, so it's unclear why this secondary character does. Potentially information could be merged into List of The Inbetweeners characters, but I don't see a reason to maintain this page as is — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnDoe4089 (talkcontribs)

I've made a few IP Address edits before. I actually left a comment on the talk page on List of The Inbetweeners characters a little while ago stating the same thing but it wasn't responded to, so I created an account to move it forward.
I only became aware of the page because I was reading about the Inbetweeners anyway, it just struck me as odd that this character had a page while the main characters did not. As for knowing the process, I used the Wikipedia guides, as well as trial and error! JohnDoe4089 (talk) 16:08, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nom is correct, and I don't think the sourcing bears out a full article either. It's not seriously in-depth coverage so much as some media buzz, interviews with the actor, etc. -- asilvering (talk) 06:29, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Character has no notability or impact outside of The Inbetweeners. Sources in the article aren't reliable or are interviews with Greg Davies and there's no coverage of the actual character that I can find, it's all more about Greg Davies himself. There's little useful encyclopaedic information in the article that could be merged into List of The Inbetweeners characters (which I also question the usefulness of having, to be fair) or Greg Davies, so I'm reluctant to vote merge for that reason. pinktoebeans (talk) 21:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
