No claim to fame. The article is a victim of fancruft, solely describing the character in an in-universe style, and worst of all, it has no reception, which is a necessary part of WP: Notability (fictional characters). ''Flux55'' (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Reads like a fandom article. Tooncool64 (talk) 19:28, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It even is a Fandom article. A note at the bottom says that "As of this edit, this article uses content from "Harold Finch" [at Fandom]", with "this edit" pointing to the very first edit, i.e. article creation. Geschichte (talk) 20:22, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Nothing is sourced, except to the show itself. I can't find any RS that discusses the character at length... Oaktree b (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not even any coverage for the show past 2016; what's found are all articles discussing a particular episode, nothing about the character. Oaktree b (talk) 20:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't find WP:SIGCOV for this character. Mostly the show or the actor. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: only mentions. reads like a fandom as mentioned above, and not WP:SIGCOV per Shooterwalker Password ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
