WP:SIGCOV is not met, the source blurb from an Advertising publication says almost nothing about the Jack character besides the title, the 2nd source is company website promotional, and is the Carolla interview (I admit it was entertaining) a WP:RS, is there anyway to confirm that the person interviewed is truly the voice of the subject of the article? Per WP:BEFORE, I can't find any better sourcing, after trying several different phrasings this paragraph from Time was all I came up with... this even surprised me as he is so well known thanks to all the dollars spent buying airtime for his commercials... merge doesn't seem viable as there's not much beyond promotional cruft here which isn't already said at Jack in the Box...

- Keep but maybe merge. There's certainly significant coverage of Jack's evolution and functions in the context of Jack-in-the-Box's ad campaigns: Los Angeles Times [1], AdWeek [2][3], Fast Company ("one of the most effective and enduring marketing campaigns since TV was invented") [4], Encyclopedia of Major Marketing Campaigns [5] (this one has a nice bibliography of additional coverage). Plenty of encyclopedic material could be written about this long lived character. Whether there is a need for a separate article, or whether there's enough space to keep it all at Jack in the Box#Advertising, is a matter of editorial judgment. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:51, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Withdraw I'm willing to withdraw this, I feel I was a little off target nominating this and thanks to Arxiloxos who found & added more sourcing to the article in short order. Roberticus (talk) 13:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
