MULTIPLE flags. Describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style, relies largely or entirely on a single source, contains original research, includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations, and lacks relevance. This is just a fictional character biography that does not meet the encyclopedic tone of wikipedia. Has been reported multiple times but has seen little improvement in the years since it was voted not to be deleted.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 October 31. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 09:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I still can't believe that the 2000 discussion was a keep, I really should have taken it to DELREV. The closing admin seems to have just counted the votes, and, sadly, the participants were mostly like blast-from-the-past ILIKEIT ITSACOOLCHARACTER WP:FANCRUFTISCOOL type of arguments. Time to put this mess out of its misery. Seriously, this is a pure plot summary with a single footnote to an episode, showing ZERO encyclodic value (clear failure of WP:GNG). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of recurring characters in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. This is borderline (if not outright) WP:TNT material, the prose is very poor and almost entirely WP:INUNIVERSE. Article needs a substantive rewrite with a focus on character reception and impact etc. if sources do exist (which I question, since editors searched around in the last AFD and didn't find very much at all) Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 13:44, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of recurring characters in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody any little content can be merged (although the target page also appears to need significant tending). Skynxnex (talk) 16:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to list. Fails WP:NOTPLOT and probably can't be improved without third-party sources, which cannot be found. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:36, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to list. Article is way too bad and barely any sources have been found. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:19, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
