I don't think that this character is notable. This article has 10 sources, of all are not reliable and passing mentions. It was recently tagged for notability and there is no help at all. My WP:BEFORE failed to show anything about him. If he isn't fixed, i recommend a redirect to List of Mission: Impossible characters or at worse, Ving Rhames.

Redirect to Mission: Impossible (film series) as an WP:ATD. The List of Mission: Impossible characters is for characters from the original TV series; it omits the late-80s revival let alone the film series. The film series article is a better redirect target. oknazevad (talk) 03:52, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Doing my usual source hunt. This article on ScreenRant seems to address Luther Sticknell specifically. [1] (Maybe this one in CBR too: [2]) Allowing WP:NOTCRYSTAL, there may be more interest and more sources after this movie comes out if they do kill the character off. So if we convert to redirect, which preserves the previous history of the article, we should prepare for a revert in that event. Now to hit Google Scholar... On first blush, there seems to be plenty of material here: [3]. If someone with a JSTOR subscription or university access can get past these paywalls, it may be possible to add enough critical analysis of this character to establish notability.

Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. In addition to the sources provided by Darkfrog, there is also some character analysis in [4], [5], [6], [7]. Collectively I think this passes WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep due to sources provided by the users above which show GNG and SIGCOV. Alternatively, it could be draftified whilst it is being improved. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:48, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
