Not sure if theres any SIGCOV here also for this guy. After an hard time searching for possible sources at google search that mainly talks about the character; turns out none of them are good. Greenish Pickle!  (🔔) 08:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge With Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. This is very clearly an article written by a fan before enough sources could be found to back it up, and going into extreme depth in the hopes it will give the appearance of notability. While this source is rather solid, there is not really anything else specifically about Rand, making it more of a candidate for a character list. The sources should've been considered before making the article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:17, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I originally closed this discussion as 'merge', based on the obvious consensus above. Haleth has requested the opportunity to provide new arguments to the discussion. On the basis that a) this discussion only recently closed (48hrs ago approx.), b) the good-faith request from Haleth, and c) the fact that this isn't a contentious topic area or similar, relisting in good faith to allow Haleth to argue alternate points of discussion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 20:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. Not clear that this is any more notable than any of the other characters listed there. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 10:58, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. Real shame there aren't many sources talking about him, but agreed this was probably a fan working BACKWARD.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge with Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series: per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ and PTEST. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Atton Rand is an important character from a well-known game. This article should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.93.179.110 (talk) 19:49, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series - Only the one source mentioned by ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ above actually goes into any significant coverage on Atton in specific, and even that is written in a fairly tongue-in-cheek style. The rest of the sources cited in the article are very trivial mentions of the character in articles or reviews on the game as a whole, with many of them being no more than a single sentence or two worth of coverage. Searches did not turn up any additional pieces of significant coverage in reliable sources on the character. Rorshacma (talk) 17:40, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
