The article does not have enough sources to meet GNG, and a BEFORE search did not find anything. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:32, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Hollyoaks characters (2001)#Scott Anderson per lack of sourcing. – Meena • 14:08, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Hollyoaks characters per lack of sourcing, which prevents merging (per WP:V). Also, the (2001) article is ridcolous, unencyclopedic fancrut (list of characters from season/year). We have a dozen of such Hollyoaks (year) articles, all of which require redirecting (maybe a bit of merging) to a single list of characters from that show (it does not merit more than one). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:48, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The development section is sourced and per WP:SOAPS, sourcing is not required for storyline sections, as watching the show acts as the source, so it should be merged there. Also, the reason that yearly lists have been used by the Hollyoals for years as soap operas have A LOT of characters that are regular/recurring that are significant. Merging them to a single list would be completely unmanageable due to the sheer length. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Weak keep (as there are sources in the development page) to List of Hollyoaks characters (2001)#Scott Anderson. The "characterisation" section can be removed though as that is unsourced. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:28, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect: as WP:ATD. Not enough sources to support a stand-alone article. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:03, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
