Sources in the article are primary (one's an interview with the actor, other is just a random trivia fact released by CBS), 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 List of Criminal Minds characters#Jason Gideon. Spinixster (chat!) 10:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~Redirect - non notable for a standalone article. Already fully treated in Criminal Minds. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update to redirect per nom. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:11, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the list as suggested by the nom. Nothing to merge, pure plot summary, poorly referenced. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:31, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't think the article should be deleted. the article had been here for years, why now delete it? Movieking134 (talk) 03:51, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Movieking134 See WP:ARTICLEAGE. Spinixster (chat!) 04:22, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft, given that this was one of the most substantially used characters of a popular series, I expect that additional sources showing notability can be found and integrated here. BD2412 T 04:21, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
