Non-notable fictional character. Sources mention this character as part of overall coverage of the series in which he appears but do not discuss him in any detail. PROD removed based on the notability of the source series but the notability of the series does not confer notability onto its individual characters.

Redirect and merge to Airwolf; there is a cast section, but no character section there. Character is not independently notable but a brief character bio would be appropriate.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 01:38, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Google News Archive shows coverage in sources in many languages, over multiple decades, for the character, many of which appear to transcend the actor who played him. Jclemens (talk) 01:47, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Google news archive shows many mentions of the character, often in the form of "what's on tonight" TV listings, which establish the character's existence but not its notability. The idea that the fictional character somehow "transcends" the actor who played the part is ludicrous on its face. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 17:28, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
