Dr. Robotnik (other media)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Redundant! Basically they're all child articles of Doctor Eggman with no real world references. Jonny2x4 (talk) 23:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Chaos Deletion Control! Yeah, this one just needs to be stomped on. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 23:55, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki anything that could be useful to http://sonic.wikia.com, and delete the rest. Let us be done with this fancruft, and that's coming from a Sonic fan myself.   Red Phoenix  flame of life...protector of all... 01:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no third party real life sources to establish notability for inclusion in Wikipedia, and that includes the parent article too. --tgheretford (talk) 07:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge: into Doctor Eggman under the animation section. Fair field fencer  F F F  09:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seventeen tons of unreferenced plot summary; no article needs this merge. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 12:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all (and transwiki anything useful elsewhere as suggested). Non-notable characters (i.e. no sources to demonstrate notability), articles violate WP:GAMETRIVIA, massive in-universe stuff.  --Craw-daddy | T | 14:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Robuttnik, I mean Doctor Eggman. Let's go, slo mo! JuJube (talk) 14:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, existing info at Doctor Eggman aptly covers this. Fin©™ 14:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep all per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 23:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The same guidelines you cite also states "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", clearing citing "plot summaries" as an example. These articles are nothing but plot summaries of story arcs in publications. Jonny2x4 (talk) 04:43, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * All fixable by using printed sources such as reviews and interviews that mention the character to revise the articles in question. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge where applicable to Doctor Eggman. It is reasonable to include short sections containing the essential information on these character variations, it is not reasonable to maintain articles so fractured and overfed they are of no use to our readers.  Also "a merge would be hard" is not a compelling reason not to do it.  Also I would venture that suggesting an article needs to be "stomped on" is not the most mature frame of reference through which to view any AfD.  Ford MF (talk) 14:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as small, summarized and to-the-point paragraphs. The current plot dumps ("articles") are excessive as per the arguments above. Kariteh (talk) 19:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete preferably; merge for consensus, although it may raise UNDUE issues if not done with a strongly excising hand. Eusebeus (talk) 14:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Article has improved since nomination and since several of the delete "votes", but even without that, I just noticed something that gives me cause to recommend a speedy close/keep. A merge discussion was underway when this AfD as initiated.  Therefore, we should let that discussion play out first and then see if an AfD is necessary, but we absolutely should not have two related discussions occuring simultaneously.

 * A typo has been fixed and you added a rescue template. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 18:50, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per points above, Dr. Robotnik in other media is notable but better off in a united article. -- Explodicle (T/C) 19:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep all: All articles contain interesting and relevant information which wouldn't fit into the article on Eggman. The character's personality greatly varies in each adaptation. There are after all, seperate articles on different incarantions of Megatron. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 21:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. The long, drawn out, silence. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 15:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That Megatron article is hardly an example of a good article. There's a few real-world content, but its mostly 90% plot dump, with bits and pieces of real world info here and there. Jonny2x4 (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - For the record, if we're going to use the titles are redirect, that doesn't mean that anyone will just be allowed to recreate the content of the article. Jonny2x4 (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
