This character does not establish notability independent of the games and anime series. It is covered well enough within those articles, so it doesn't require separate coverage.. TTN (talk) 15:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails WP:N, WP:PLOT and WP:WAF. No significant coverage on this character in reliable, third-party sources. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 17:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete- It's essentially unsourced, and far too long per WP:PLOT. Reyk  YO!  22:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and trim down main antagonist in a popular series (Gungrave). Needs shortening badly. JuJube (talk) 22:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge the lead and the Game version section into Gungrave (where he isn't listed in the Characters section) and redirect. The rest is UNDUE plot summary. – sgeureka t•c 11:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a violation of WP:NOT, not to mention WP:N for having zero (or at most trivial) coverage outside of the series itself. Randomran (talk) 17:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Question: Why not then merge it? If the material is part of the main series article, then WP:NOT is averted and WP:N irrelevant. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:08, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) But merge where? I looked at this one and Beyond the Grave months ago (pretty sure I'm the one who tagged both with their current tags). One reason I didn't attempt a merge/redirect was because of the blending of the game and anime characters in a single article. Though from what I've scanned. I have to admit, a lot of this one's summary of the anime seems like pure OR and incorrect info. Like the claimed ages...never stated in the series, etc. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 21:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as rambling, overgrown NOT#PLOT vio. ThuranX (talk) 21:29, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
