The character lacks significant coverage and is not independently notable from John Marston or the video games. The article consists entirely of original research, with only a handful of references taken from a different article (all of which only mention Jack in passing, or not at all). Based on my research of the topic, I don't believe any significant coverage exists, and any further passing mentions can be covered on this list. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:14, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: He's a fairly minor character until the very end of Red Dead, and in Red Dead 2, he's a small child you read with and take fishing... The sources used aren't all about Jack, but about the games themselves. Trivial coverage about a minor character. Oaktree b (talk) 23:55, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Characters of Red Dead Redemption 2, where the character is mentioned. My arguments are the same as above, but we have a viable AtD here. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I tried that, but it was reverted, hence this AfD. I'd probably prefer deletion but I'm not opposed to redirection. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the respective section in Characters of Red Dead Redemption 2. No significant coverage, only passing mentions, and certainly not enough to warrant an independent article. Ethmostigmus (talk | contribs) 03:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not enough WP:SIGCOV. This is a quick appearance from a minor character and unlikely as a search term, but I don't have strong objections to a redirect. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. At first I was a little shocked that someone was trying to delete the RDR protagonist, but I eventually noticed the name discrepancy. Jack Marston is pretty clearly not a notable character. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Not a notable enough character in either game he appears in to receive a full article here. Aguy777 (talk) 20:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate: They are a protagonist in the first game and so i believe they should stay. There are only 3 protagonists in the game and so i believe all 3 should be in. User:Bowlita (talk) 22:54, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note to clarify that Bowlita (talk · contribs) was blocked shortly after leaving this message per WP:NOTHERE, and was found to be a sock of Jeees777 (talk · contribs), who created this article. I suspect the recent IP attempts to remove the AfD notice were also related. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Characters of Red Dead Redemption 2. This character is not notable enough to have an article devoted to him, but as a very likely search term relating to characters in the Red Dead Redemption series, this page has its uses as a redirect.
