Chaos Emeralds

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Long original research essay on a fictional object. The only sources used are primary sources and there is no real world context. Ridernyc (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article needs cleanup and stripping out of original research, but Chaos Emeralds are a big part of the Sonic universe spanning many games (and probably cartoons and other junk as well). Things that span a whole fictional universe can occupy their own article if there's enough to write about them (page size concerns). Cleanup, strip down, improve, but keep. If, eventually, it gets stripped down to the point where it becomes apparent there's very little to be said after all, then merge. TheBilly (talk) 15:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep or Merge. There is one source from a magazine interview with Yuji Naka so you can't say there is no real world context, but there should be more. It should be cleaned up, expanded on real stuff, and have the OR elimiated. Though the subject matter is important, it may not warrant its own article and might have to be merged into something similar to the Minor Characters. Cigraphix (talk) 16:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup, per TheBilly. -- RattleMan 17:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup. I agree that there seems to be enough information to justify having its own article, it just needs to be rewritten and referenced. If not, the relevant information can be merged into a Sonic article. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 18:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Cleanup, per TheBilly and 1ForTheMoney. Zerokitsune (talk) 00:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as the primary MacGuffin of almost all the Sonic games, real-world context can certainly be found, if not there already. JuJube (talk) 19:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. A very notable aspect of a very notable series.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 04:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep a notable aspect of the series which has been around since game one, and is a large part of more recent plots with plenty of official information on the subject. Some cleanup and OR removal might be neccessary, but the subject is notable, and the article is pretty good as it is, in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radman622 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
