Proposed merge of List of Tales of Xillia characters into Tales of Xillia
Sources do not cover this game's set of characters independent from the game itself. The general notability guideline requires multiple substantial reliable sources—not just links to primary sources and reviews of the game. Redirection would suffice here as an alternative to deletion. You can discuss whether to merge a brief character list but I'd argue that the Plot section is sufficient. If more sources appear in the future, there's always the potential to expand summary style if warranted, as needed. czar 02:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support — Admittedly my knowledge on Tales is limited (shameful, I know), but I don't see the need for a list of characters from this one entry in a long-running franchise. Something like "List of Tales characters" I could see working, but not individual lists. Merge whatever useful content is in this into the Tales of Xillia article.

 * Support - as per Czar's rationale.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:02, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note Unlike Tales of Graces, I created the character page since having characters spanning more than 1 game made some awkward structuring and wording; (XXX appears in the sequel as xxx) and then referencing the sequel back to Xillia (For more information see main section xxx) 8 times. If someone can do an elegant merge, sure why not. D.Zero  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 05:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Characters are not mentioned by reliable sources outside of reviews of the game itself.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 03:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Tales of Xillia is a sub-series comprised of two standalone video games. Siliconera, a reliable source, has published more then ten standalone articles which specifically discuss the series' characters. Kotaku and VG247 have published a few more. These sources adequately demonstrate that the topic meets WP:LISTN. All of these sources can be looked up on the custom search engine for WP:VG and none of them are standard routine game reviews. In addition, The article for the first Tales of Xillia game is already reviewed as a GA, so any mass reintroduction of information about the characters merged from this list will cause WP:Undue issues and produce more work for editors to reassess and rework it to GA status. The nominator's assertion that the plot section being adequate for coverage is incorrect and not supported by policy or guidelines. Haleth (talk) 08:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose if somebody manages to cover material from the cast. I'm pretty sure there is considering Haleth's comment and his experience with characters who appeared in few games like the first two antagonists of Yakuza. Sadly, I have no idea how to aid him or another editor since I have no access to the Xillia games due to console issues.Tintor2 (talk) 15:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Note: It seems there hasn't been reached a consensus. However, if the characters are merged I think the most important things is doing them as appropiately as possible because of this being a GA.Tintor2 (talk) 00:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
