This article fails to meet the general notability guidelines and Wikipedia's notability of fiction, as well as the notability guidelines set up at the Soap Opera WikiProject. This article relies solely on poorly-written plot detail, and both sources are purely based on the character's casting of an actor that is barely notable on their own regard. This character's article would be better suited at the character list it is also placed at. livelikemusic talk! 01:51, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

• Comment - The character is at least as well documented, both in terms of article body and in terms of references, as other characters in this soap opera. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:53, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

• Keep I believe this article should not be deleted, as I believe the plot is well written and referenced. If anything, more editors should work on making the article better instead of nominating it for deletion. Thank you. --Princessruby (talk) 12:22, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
• Keep Standard character actor article for the series.scope_creep^Talk 00:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
• Redirect to List_of_Days_of_Our_Lives_characters_(2010s)#Xander_Kiriakis where the character is already well-represented, as livelikemusic pointed out. --Lockley (talk) 04:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nightfury 08:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

• Keep - In cases where application of general notability is uncertain or marginal, there is something to be said for consistency, and other equally well documented characters have articles. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
• Comment - Do we need a guideline on television characters or soap opera characters? Robert McClenon (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
• Keep per Robert McClenon's arguments. – Braxton C. Womack^{talk to me!} 05:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
