Characters of Diablo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another mostly unsourced and long list of non-notable video game characters. Retells the story from the games from the characters point of view. No actual encyclopedic information, i.e., conception, development, reception (except for one sentence, saying that designer Leonard Boyarsky worked on another video game). Nothing in the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine that would suggest any of these characters have any notability. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:31, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:ALLPLOT list that fails WP:LISTN. The description in the series article should be sufficient.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:36, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: Can this easily be kicked into a draft space for me to work on after deletion, or should I manually copy it now? I have aspirations to include more information from the novels/novel-related sources, remove some plot summary-type content added by other editors, and hopefully gather more sources as Diablo IV slowly approaches. Perhaps one day I can revive this as a useful article.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, thanks for waiting a very generous amount of time between the previous discussion and this nom for me to have potentially fixed it up.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 19:38, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I wasn't aware there was a previous discussion. Or do you mean redirecting in October 2018? Because since then it hasn't really improved. Regardless, what the article needs is reliable, significant and independent coverage. Using novels is a primary source, that won't help with notability. In-game appearances (or any in-universe appearance for that matter) should be brief. See WP:VGLAYOUT, section 'characters'. If you like to see it moved to draft space, be my guest.  soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:05, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I just meant the brief discussion you had started at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_141 which, yes, was right before or after it getting redirected. And I know it hasn't improved. I was just thanking you for not starting a nom directly after that, which provided time for improvement if I had chosen to use it. At any rate, with the draft business I was just hoping to still have access to the previous content in case I ever find enough sources to make something decent. I'll just copy it to my own subpage.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 17:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Drafity. I was going to said delete, but if Fyrel wants to rescue it, godspeed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 20:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Nah, you can vote delete. I'm going to just put it back into a user subpage to maybe work on later.&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 17:22, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Draftify Honestly there's a lot of useful information here, but it's overly detailed fancruft. Or move to a fan wiki? Ambrosiawater (talk) 20:37, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
