 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Merge into The Perhapanauts. The two unrelated articles are exactly that, unrelated. Procedural close on those two, no prejudice against a separate nomination. Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  19:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Arisa (The Perhapanauts)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:FANCRUFT. Each of the fictional characters mentioned in the article for the minor comic The Perhapanauts has been given its own extremely short article which gives no more information than the parent article. Fails WP:Notability (books); this states that the characters should be listed in the main article, which they are already. I changed one to a redirect but the article creator reverted without explanation. Ros0709 (talk) 06:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Other articles included in nomination:

Also (exact same problem, different comic series):


 * Merge the Perhapsnauts into one article, Procedural keep the other two. Sourcing comic-book stuff isn't as tough as it looks since a lot of publications cover comics, but the Perhapsnaughts character articles are essentially one-line wonders and would make an ideal merge with the possibility of being spun off later if anyone feels like fully expanding them.  Nyx and Grell aren't really related and just seem to be tacked on here, and are distinct enough to deserve a seperate discussion. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge the first five into The Perhapanauts and bring up the other two in a separate afd (per Andrew). -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment There's really nothing to merge as the sub-articles up for deletion say no more (and, in cases, say less) than the main article:
 * Arisa article: "Arisa Hines is the leader of the Perhapanauts and a powerful telepath"; The Perhapanauts main article: "team leader Arisa, who is a powerful telepath"
 * MG: "MG is a member of the Perhapanauts and the most mysterious character in the agency."; The Perhapanauts: "a man named "MG". (MG's real name, as well as his exact origin and powers, has not yet been revealed, although it was joked by Dezago's friend and sometime collaborator Mike Wieringo in the introduction to the "First Blood" trade that "MG" might stand for "Mystery Guy")
 * Big: "Big is a Sasquatch and a member of the Perhapanauts"; The Perhapanauts: "a sasquatch named Big (also called Nakani)"
 * Choopie: "Choopie is a Chupacabra and a member of the Perhapanauts"; The Perhapanauts: "a chupacabra named Choopie"
 * Molly: "Molly is a ghost and a member of the Perhapanauts"; The Perhapanauts: "a ghost named Molly"

 * The Perhapanauts articles have been expanded so I too favour merge into The Perhapanauts. Then redirect all the articles to their respective main articles. Ros0709 (talk) 06:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I brought the last two here because they were created at around the same time by the same author and seem to have the same issues. They were added on after the initial nomination to make things simpler but can be considered separately if deemed appropriate. Ros0709 (talk) 18:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't underestimate the importance of the pictures that accompany each article ;-) -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't know much about the Perhapsnauts but Nyx is a fairly important character within the Spawn universe, especially as of issue #169. She's been in just about every issue since the Armageddon arch ended and was something of a love interest when she debuted. Don't see why the article should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.84.220 (talk) 22:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge all Perhapanauts to the main article - in a "characters" section. The existing ones may be thin but we don't have such a section so may as well make use of the information. Equally we might as well have the characters redirecting to the main article. Ditto Grell to Ekos (comic) - an article which really needs expansion itself so there is no need to start articles on indiivdual characters for now. Equally the disambiguation is wrong for all of those following WP:NCC. Nyx is a tricky one as I don't know enough about them but those that do suggest they may be notable, and the Comic Book DB shows appearances in Spawn and Bomb Queen, so for now move to Nyx (comics) (tag for expansion and hatnote to NYX (comics)) - return to it later and see how things have gone. (Emperor (talk) 02:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC))
 * Merge and move Nyx per Emperor's very sensible suggestions. Ford MF (talk) 12:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also of note is that the creating editor is a serial bad image uploader and uploaded all those accompanying images as public domain, which they certainly aren't. They should all probably be speedied after this, as there's too many to prudently merge into the Perhapanauts article.  Ford MF (talk) 12:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge all Perhapanauts, delete or redirect the other two. They are still short enough to be merged seemlessly, but non-notability is a major burden to keep them around as separate articles. – sgeureka t•c 19:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
