Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Demon Beast (Kirby series)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was: no consensus for deletion, but unanimous consensus that these should not exist as separate articles, so all redirected to Demon Beast (Kirby series), and whoever wishes to do a merge can go into the history. Note that merge consensuses made at AfD are not binding and it is up to those supporting merge to watchlist the redirects if they don't want them reverted. --Sam Blanning(talk) 15:30, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Demon Beast (Kirby series)
Doing a bundle deletion of articles that could basically either be a single article, or just removed altogether for being fairly unnotable, episodic enemies in the anime. Half of the listed characters are also nominated for deletion, mostly for fancruft, and the fact some of the monsters appear for about 30 seconds at the end of an episode (as reflected by the fact some of them don't even have -names-). Not to point fingers, but to sum it up, most of these articles are made by Kirbyfan103, and include fact and fiction to make paragraphs of what could basically be a two to three sentence summation in a single article. --ArrEmmDee 00:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Note:This is a list of articles that were linked to this page for deletion. --Kunzite 04:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: I missed three and I've added them to the bottom.


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions.   -- TheFarix (Talk) 13:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all subarticles into the main article, Demon Beast (Kirby series). These characters are non-notable on their own and shouldn't have individual articles per WP:FICT. --TheFarix (Talk) 13:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment where's the list of articles you tagged? -- nae'blis (talk) 21:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically 80 percent of the links in the article are included. While some stuff would be probably better off merged not that TheFarix mentioned it, things like 'Debt Collector Ghost' and Unnamed Monster Spirits (Kirby) are just absurd. Sorry I haven't listed them all of, there's just like, too many of them. --ArrEmmDee 21:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm not sure I like the process in this AfD. Some of those links go to individual articles, some go to "List of Kirby enemies", some seem to have enough content for an article, some don't.  It definitely looks like they need attention and a lot of merging, but until I know exactly what we're voting on, I'll err on the side of keep. - Wickning1 14:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all per Kunzite's listing. - Wickning1 16:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Delete Anime cruft + list cruft = delete the cruft! Cheesehead 1980 14:01, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete The entire collection of articles is on extremely minor characters that hardly have 1 episode each. Also the articles are not written in a formal tone (One of the pictures is subtitled "A very freaky doctor Moro.") If not delete than merge into one big article (that is edited to be more coherent).70.226.21.120 04:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Procedural keep - without a list of the articles up for consideration, I fear that this will be destined to be overturned at deletion review. If someone can compile that list here (and possibly restart the clock, so it has a full five days), I'd be very happy to reconsider (I suspect my vote will be delete, but we should follow the process). -- nae'blis
 * Delete or redirect for GFDL purposes if anything is merged, but I doubt it will be. Do not keep separately as articles, as they are completely unsourced and speculative. Thanks Kunzite for the list. -- nae'blis 18:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Conditional keep only if outcome is Merge otherwise, Delete ... WP:FICTION guidelines suggests we merge 'em. --Kunzite 04:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the lot of them. Articles for every one-shot enemy in a TV series are totally unnecessary. WarpstarRider 05:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as fancruft. --Sparky Lurkdragon 08:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge most of them and delete a few of the unimportant ones that weren't the basis of an episode. They aren't so unimportant that they have to be fully deleted. Nemu 21:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect then nominate the entire article for deletion. --HResearcher 02:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge the important characters into one article and remove the rest. --Wafulz 15:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
