• I could find no evidence that he's notable independent of the films, and the article is mainly an excessively long in-universe plot description, but it's a reasonably good plot description and there is a bit of useful wording that might be incorporated into the articles about the pictures' plot summaries, so a merge and redirect (thus preserving the editing history) may be appropriate. Billy Lenz (currently a redirect to this article) is a reasonably likely search string. The puzzler is that there are 2 films and (according to the article) his full name is used only in the second film; nevertheless, I tend to think that the first film is the better redirect target. So, my less-than-perfect suggestion is merge and redirect to Black Christmas (1974 film). (And the corresponding item on the dab page for Billy should be revised to point to the film article.)--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:36, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into each of the two films, which can cross-reference each other as needed. Jclemens (talk) 00:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to original film due to lack of significant coverage about the character in a way that could not be covered in either film article. In contrast, T-X may appear in one film, but I found coverage (see talk page) that analyzed her character pretty thoroughly in relation to portrayal of feminism. I'm not seeing that kind of coverage for Billy here. Erik (talk | contribs) 22:09, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to the film article. Not enough sources to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
