Only source in the article is an episode recap, a quick Google search does not give any sources that prove individual notability, and per WP:N, it is not worth a standalone article. If the character is not notable, I suggest a redirect and/or merge to CSI: NY#Sheldon Hawkes. Spinixster (chat!) 07:59, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge to List of CSI: NY characters. I hate deleting articles and think redirecting and merging here is a good idea as it means the info can be transferred here (and maybe condensed) and the article can be remade easily if someone finds sources demonstrating notability and real life context.

Actually, I think merging to CSI:NY#Sheldon Hawkes is a better idea DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 13:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect I agree with both the nominator, Spinixster and DaniloDaysOfOurLives that a stand-alone article is unnecessary, and rather than delete it, we should point the user logically and directly to the content on the subject already available at a CSI article. Either of the above redirect targets is acceptable, with a slight preference for CSI: NY#Sheldon Hawkes. Jacona (talk) 12:48, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
