Non-notable fictional character. References is WP:PRIMARY and routine annoucements. scope_creepTalk 09:03, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Subject was the lead character in a popular series that ran for ten years on major networks, and appeared in crossover episodes with other shows. Coverage in non-primary sources clearly exists. BD2412 T 13:57, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Per BD2412. 🤾♂️ Malo95 (talk) 17:32, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per BD2412. Character was the subject of the backdoor pilot that spawned the NCIS franchise. Most refs in the article are indeed primary, to support the description of the character's story arc, as would be expected, but numerous secondary sources considered reliable for entertainment subjects exist that establish notability, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].

- Merge and redirect to JAG. The only non-plot summary stuff is Harmon_Rabb#Conceptual_history - there's no reception (and the sources cited by Mdewman6 above are similar). Information on casting/character creation, without any other reception, seems to belong in the article about the show, but I don't think SIGCOV/ONEEVENT are met otherwise. All we have, really, is some TV-guide level coverage about which author will play this role. That's not enough IMHO for keeping this as a stand-alone article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:01, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
