While this character seems to be generally notable in MacGyver, I can't find any secondary sources that aren't just recaps, listicles, or passing mentions. I don't believe the article passes SIGCOV as it stands, especially since as of right now, the article only cites a few primary sources as its entire source list, not to mention that all information regarding this character is already in the general character list for MacGyver. If some more sources are found, I'm definitely not opposed to it being kept, but I don't think enough exist to justify an article as of right now. Pokelego999 (talk) 15:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete character does not have separate notability from the fiction, because there aren't sources that cover him with any significant reception. Fails WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:22, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
