Darth Nihilus
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails to meet WP:WAF, WP:N. Only real-world commentary is in the trivia section and is about a fan who dressed up as this character -- perhaps making the fan notable (if at all), but not this character. Yes, Darth Nihilus plays an important role in KOTOR2, as clearly articulated in the 2005 VFD -- however, more than two years later this remains mostly just a plot summary of the character's role in the game. Even for all the assertions of in-universe importance, the content of this article is pretty small. Apparently, this fellow is getting an action figure -- perhaps worth mentioning in the KOTOR2 article, or in List_of_Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_characters.

I'm also listing the following article for similar reasons - AfDs for this article: 
 * - more plot summary, more trivia, even less real-world assertion of notability for this supporting character
 * - one more.
 * question Can't we just redirect this to whatever media it is they appear in? FrozenPurpleCube 02:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Damn it!! We need to fix this article up ASAP. Greg Jones II 02:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge all to List_of_Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic_characters per nom. Might be worth considering breaking that list out into three articles: one for characters appearing in both games, and one for each of the games individually... it is starting to get rather large.

 * Keep - I think an article should remain given that there is no new arguement for it's deletion that wasn't already covered in a previous, unsuccessful AfD. Irishjp 10:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is not a compelling argument to keep. Additionally, interpretations of policy two years later I imagine are pretty different. It looks to me that most of the "arguments" to keep in previous AfDs come down to, "The character is important in Star Wars." However, WP:WAF requires notability in the real world, which none of these articles assert, and which I doubt any of these subjects actually have. --EEMeltonIV 12:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge per above; let's not be too immediateist here. &mdash; Deckiller 16:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep this argument is not much diffrent from the last "delete nihilus" argument. BassxForte 16:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge as per all of the above. Greg Jones II 03:27, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic characters, and possibly to individual game articles, unless reliable secondary sources discussing the characters can be found. However, I'm pretty liberal about what I'd consider reliable sources — an article discussing the character in the Star Wars magazine would probably do. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments


 * If you feel you really must do something with the articles, merge the articles, into some kind of "Characters of Knights ofthe Old Republic", just copy the information form the character's page (minus the trivia sections). BassxForte 03:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
