Benjamin Stone[edit]

This looks like a vanity page which is not permitted on Wikipedia. Shoaler 19:54, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT I have rewritten the page to reflect the fictional character ADA Ben Stone from Law and Order. 132.205.95.65 22:14, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:51, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable character on American television. I must admit I thought McCoy was the DA on Law and Order from the beginning. Capitalistroadster 10:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as above, and thank you 132.205.95.65 Kappa 18:13, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
In the Wikipedia Article Deletion system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the voters, who give their opinions, and the editors, who rewrite pages so that they're actually about valid topics. These are their stories. keep-keep DS 12:33, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable character on a television show. Redfarmer 14:02, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Why not? He's as notable as any other character on television. Shoaler 14:10, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, very notable with 211 google hits. [1]

But if that is the consensus then fine. I've added the link from the Michael Moriarty page.--Silversmith 14:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should add these in [2] 132.205.45.148 17:02, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A fictional character on a popular U.S. televison show with an ensemble cast is not notable enough for its own article. Anything that could be said here belongs in Law & Order or Michael Moriarty. Quale 05:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That would cut about 5,000 articles. 4.13.206.26 08:38, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
