Talk:Characters of Tenchu

suggested deletion/merge/expansion
A speedy deletion tag was placed on this page for deletion requested by the sole author, with the rationale, "I Logicartery, have decided that this article, be deleted because it appears that no other users are able to provide solid citations. This article has also multiple issues, I'll try to spread the content into their "respective" articles and try looking for supposed citations. Thank you". It was removed by another admin because others have contributed also.

Thinking it an actual request for deletion, I tagged the page for discussion of a merge to the main page. This was apparently not appropriate, because I received the following message on my talk page " Article: Characters of Tenchu. I just want to reconsider your disapproval of the proposed deletion of the said article. My intention is actually not to merge it with the main Tenchu article but to spread the contents on each of their respective videogame articles (since the article contains different characters from different games) thus, deeming the list a redundancy if that will be done. Also, I won't "direct copy" the contents but instead, I will try to search for more reliable sources and re-write character descriptions in a more Wikipedia manner. Therefore, I'm asking for the deletion. I hope you could reply to the matter. Thank you very much.--JCD (Talk) 06:58, 7 April 2010 (UTC)"

I reply to him: "that's not a deletion, that's a split. It should be discussed at the article talk page. If you cannot get consensus at the talk page, you can proceed by placing a RfC asking for outside opinions. The alternate way is to simply write the expanded articles and see if they stand, and if so, keep this one as a WP:SUMMARY. But be aware that such individual character articles are very frequently subject to attack, and although the results are unpredictable, some or all of them are often deleted. My advice is to instead expand the sections in place in the combination article. If you can expand them enough, with good third party substantial reference, then the split will be much easier to get  consensus for. The important point is to get he content, not how it is arranged. I generally support keeping individual articles if they exists to be sure of retaining the content, but I rarely think it worthwhile to make them if they aren't already there,  and risk losing the work.

Asking for your opinions, fellow contributors
As  DGG ( talk ) have stated above. I thereby formally ask you fellow contributors for your suggestions about what to do with this very article. The rationale I have provided has been thereby changed by me as well on the talk page of the user-admin  Blanchardb ( talk ); as I have stated on his talk page:


 * "I'm sorry to have confused you with that note (I was the one who did that deletion request, I'm Logicartery). But let me try to change my words, I'll try looking for reliable sources and instead of editing the said article, I'll post the details and descriptions of the characters on each of their respective game articles (the list includes characters from different games in the series), hence the character list would be redundant which is why I'm requesting for the deletion. I also believe the list contains too much details which make it worse and I sure 'do not' promote fanaticism on that, more or less. I hope this clear things up. Thank you.--JCD (Talk) 12:02, 6 April 2010 (UTC)"

The note I'm speaking of is the rationale I've provided on the deletion request I have done. I'm asking for your opinions if what you think of the better option of what do to with the article. Either, be it deleted/merge/expanded or what. I'm hoping for your cooperation. --JCD (Talk) 07:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Characters of Tenchu → List of Tenchu characters &mdash; Per norm, also Ayame and Rikimaru have to rewritten and then split into a separate article, as they are notable enough (as a pair). --94.246.150.68 (talk) 17:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
