Talk:Cream the Rabbit

Merge
Sorry to do this, but I think this topic has notability issues. If this is complete, it's not looking good for the secondary sources. The appearances make 75% (!!) of the article and appear to be all primary sources, and this would be possibly okay (though undue weight) as long as there was more to say in other sections. There isn't any dedicated coverage on the character. I'm recommending a merge to the list of Sonic characters (and the rest to another wiki willing to house more in-depth content on lesser known fictional characters). I know a lot of time was poured into this and I want to support more articles of this genre, but I'm not sure why that time would be spent working on articles with borderline notability that are very likely to be merged and redirected instead of the stuff guaranteed to stay (topics with significant coverage). czar ♔  03:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, the fact that I'm working on all of the Sonic character articles and you happen to have notability complaints regarding a few of them is the reason I'm working on Sonic characters whose notability you dispute. Besides, what constitutes "significant coverage" regarding video game characters is far from agreed upon; for example, as I've repeatedly stated, very few game characters would get to stay (not more than 3-4 Sonic characters, at the most) if WP:VG followed the rule you seem to have of full-length articles.


 * Nonetheless, I'd be surprised if the "stupid name" list ranking didn't count, as there's a (very short) page just on her there. IIRC, list rankings like this are as much in the way of your "dedicated coverage" as characters like Wario have. Tezero (talk) 04:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

So let's take the opportunity to get to the bottom of this. I've opened up a dialogue at Talk:List of Sonic the Hedgehog video game characters. I don't have a horse in the race (or an opinion on the worthiness of listicles) and am happy to leave this alone if no one cares, but I thought I'd broach it just in case someone else does. czar ♔  04:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
