Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kirby series characters

The result was delete. I realize that the consensus was to merge, however, there was only one suggestion of where to merge. That article, Kirby (Nintendo), is already comprehensive, and includes a template at the bottom that lists the characters. There also isn't much on this list page to merge to an article. Redirecting doesn't seem useful as this isn't that likely of a page name, and any search on this will reveal a more useable list of names than simply choosing one to redirect to. There was no consensus for keeping this, so thus it is deleted. —Doug Bell talk 10:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Kirby series characters

 * — (View AfD)

This page is cluttered and redundant. Every character on this page except one already has a listing or entire article devoted to them. There is no rhyme or reason as to what characters are included here.

We have a category for Kirby characters, so there isn't a need for a bloated list like this.

More prominent characters have their own articles. Side characters like enemies have the Kirby series enemies, Kirby series bosses and Kirby series mini-bosses pages, among others.

Some of the information is contradictory or just too different from what is stated on the character's main article.


 * I propose moving some of the descriptions here to the other pages if there isn't already an adequate decription there, and then deleting this page. Ivyna J. Spyder 06:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge & Delete Even a quick comparison between the Kirby main page and this shows that there's some irreconciliable differences.  SkierRMH, 08:43, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a valid vote - that loses contributor information. Should that be interpreted as a "merge and redirect"? Zetawoof(&zeta;) 10:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * So if I go through and merge the rest of these sub-articles into their main articles (if there's any information in them that isn't already included in the main articles so we don't lose contributions) then can we delete the page? Or somehow redirect it to the Kirby characters category that lists them all anyway. Ivyna J. Spyder 17:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically, if some of the content got reused elsewhere, then the article should be redirected to there. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 19:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. If there's anything that can be salvaged and parsed to the shorter character articles/lists, do it. Otherwise, delete as listcruft. Axem Titanium 20:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge or Delete: I agree with cutting down the article length since there are already so many seperate pages with these characters placed in them and either trim down a majority of information and send it to any neccessary parts or just delete this page. -Adv193 00:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge to appropriate articles (if any merging needs done), then redirect somewhere (possibly Kirby (Nintendo)). --- RockMFR 23:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge (if there is anything there to merge) and either redirect or turn into a Disambiguation page to the other Kirby character pages. Donno if the last one is possible/kosher, but hey. -Ryanbomber 17:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
