I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with copypaste rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for a proper rationale in the PROD). So here we go, as usual. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:47, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - The topic lacks the needed significant coverage in reliable sources to sustain itself. TTN (talk) 22:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Constantine (TV series)#Cast and characters, this character fails WP:GNG, with the article being sourced mostly to primary sources, with the singular secondary source being a less than one sentence long passing mention. It also fails WP:PLOT, since it is essentially entirely comprised of in-universe information. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Hellblazer characters#Ritchie Simpson: Valid alternative to deletion per WP:ATD-R where he already has an entry. 2pou (talk) 09:25, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Hellblazer characters#Ritchie Simpson. The character first appeared in the comics so that is a more appropriate destination than the TV show character list. Rhino131 (talk) 03:33, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Merge with List of Hellblazers characters#Ritchie Simpson, but we should transfer his media appearance there as well. --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:51, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge or redirect as an WP:ATD. Topic lacks significant coverage in reliable sources but working to build a consensus. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:04, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge or redirect to List of Hellblazer characters#Ritchie Simpson per reasoning from @Rhino131. Haleth (talk) 13:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Hellblazer characters#Ritchie Simpson - A basic summary of his plot is already included there, and there is no reliably sourced information in this article that needs to be merged. Rorshacma (talk) 05:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
