Donkey Kong Jungle Beat bosses

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A list of bosses in one somewhat popular game with a minor plot does not warrant an article. A Link to the Past (talk) 04:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Donkey Kong characters. TJ Spyke 04:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if anything gets merged, it should only be a partial merge of descriptions, not specific Kongs and Rocs and etc. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge as per A Link to the Past's suggestion above. Article a bit too fancrufty @ the mo. Suriel1981 12:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not sure what's missing from the List of Donkey Kong characters that makes this a need. Listing bosses is really better done by game sites.  Utgard Loki 15:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. GarrettTalk 20:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of non-Kremling Donkey Kong enemies. -- Lord Crayak
 * Merge into an appropriate "List of characters" article. I have no knowledge of DK and am thus not sure what the appropriate article is.  However, WP:FICT specifies that content on "minor characters" should be merged into a "List of characters" article.  -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Black Falcon (talk • contribs) 22:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Merge into the appropriate article. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with either the DK:JB article or the non-Kremling DK enemies list.DreamingLady 09:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * To all suggesting a merge... why? Do we ever see articles that have a list of all bosses in a single video game, notable or not? This list should be deleted to create a precedence against boss lists that don't use any discrimination besides how specific the list becomes (series, game, etc.). - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * According to WP guideline, minor characters for fictional works should be lumped into a "list of characters". -- Black Falcon 00:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not precedence to have an article. That says "if minor characters have ARTICLES, then merge them into a list." It doesn't say to make a list for every game with minor characters. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You are right, but no one is calling for us to keep this article.  And the fact that there already exists a list to which this can be merged makes the matter less complicated (in my opinion).  Also, as JackSparrow Ninja has noted below, the boss battles are a key part of the game, so it's not like these are completely minor characters.  -- Black Falcon 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They are major characters in this game. JackSparrow Ninja 00:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Kind of like Moldorm in Link's Awakening. Do they HAVE characters? Or are they JUST characters? It's rare to see a list of bosses for one video game, or even for a series of them. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Boss battles are vital part of the game, and an explanation on them is nothing more then normal. JackSparrow Ninja 23:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
