Cell (Dragon Ball)

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

Don't think this one passes WP:FICT. The character doesn't play much of a role throughout the series, especially since he is killed. Suggest merging anything useful to List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball, or an outright deletion can do. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep was a major villain for a major arc in the series. Also death - even for a fictional character - does not mean that the subject is NN. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 06:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Disagree with nom's reasoning that this character was unimportant in the story, but nevertheless keep to merge/redirect through a proper merge proposal like the other DB characters. – sgeureka t•c 08:28, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep You've got to be kidding. JuJube (talk) 11:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do something with this that isn't delete. He, um, is the villain of a full story arc; it's even called the Cell Saga. That said, this article is ARGLBRGLPHRGLE awful, and likely won't improve. I'm sure we have an article about the Cell Saga or major villains or the manga volumes or SOMEWHERE this can be merged and redirected. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 19:53, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Cleanup - The reason given by nom is asinine and contradictory. He's a friggin antagonist for an entire story arc. Just because is killed off in the story doesn't reduce his importance. Jonny2x4 (talk) 22:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup. Main villain of Dragon Ball Z and he is "alive" in Dragon Ball GT (he is killed but back in action). Sometimes, people mistakes AfD for clean-up. If this article was problems, wikify it but deletion is not solution. Zero Kitsune (talk) 02:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's where the nom's argument that because the charecter is non-notable because he is "killed" (sic) is strange. Not only does the death of a character have nothing to do with notability, but DragonBall Z is an anime where characters regularly come back from the dead or have stories about them whilst they are dead (several, actually).

 * Merge somewhere - A little notability, but not enough to stay its own article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge but don't delete. This is a main character in the Dragon Ball timeline. Zarbon (talk) 14:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Cell is one of the top 10 most significant characters. -- Frieza and Vegeta Forever (talk) 15:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as I don't think it can really "fail" Fiction per se since that guideline is still very much a work in progress per Wikipedia talk:Notability %28fiction%29. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 21:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
