*'''Weak delete''' Like Nina van Horn, sourcing [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&rls=ig&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22Maya+Gallo%22+%22Just+Shoot+Me!%22+-wikipedia exists], but mainly in the form of episode and show reviews that don't cover the character specifically or significantly. I will note that this character gets fewer hits than van Horn (though that may or may now mean anything). [http://books.google.com/books?id=DGj6A7uXHE8C&pg=PA212&dq=%22Maya+Gallo%22+%22Just+Shoot+Me!%22+-wikipedia&ei=PDXySJClHoPytQO1zpD2Bg&sig=ACfU3U2xmWgbkviRuH3zIra8w7fcmcZYAQ#PPA212,M1 This] is the closest we come to significant critical coverage in the books hits. Not sure if it is sufficient. So, the hits are out there. Someone may be able to find one and make a decent article, but there is an equal chance that each of those hits provide material that isn't helpful in making an article for the fictional character.
