Kirei Kotomine

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I had tagged this article on November 4th for its notability, in universe context, and its excessive plot summary. The tags were removed and notability is still not established per the secondary source requirement of WP:FICT and the article is still a plot summary (WP:NOT#PLOT) without any real world context established. I suspect these are issues that the editors cannot resolve so they simply removed the tags. Pilotbob 01:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Just to let you know, four day old tags aren't a really good justification that there will never be any changes on the article. If the articles had been tagged for months, then certainly, a problem is present, but this isn't the case. The fact that no one is working on the article is not a reason for deletion. Anyhow, merge into List of Fate/stay night characters. The article can always be recreated if sources can be found to satisfy notability. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 01:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Kirei Kotomine is main antagonist of Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night. Do not merge into List of Fate/stay night characters. Zerokitsune 03:37, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge per WP:FICT into List of Fate/stay night characters; he may be the main antagonist, but he doesn't seem to have made much of a splash outside of the series. If sources demonstrating notability appear, I'll change my vote to keep. Agree with Sephiroth BCR that four days is hardly a universal failure, or even an ghost of one. —Quasirandom 03:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. per Zerokitsune, he is the main antagonist of what was a fairly popular anime series. --Gwern (contribs) 21:40 9 November 2007 (GMT)
 * Abstain I would like to switch my vote to abstain at this time due to this investigation WP:ANI. Pilotbob —Preceding comment was added at 07:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. per Zerokitsune and Gwern. Kotomine is the main antagonist in the Fate (final battle) and Unlimited Blade Works (mastermind) scenario, helps the protagonist into Heaven's Fell and faces the final and last battle (epic battle in Realta Nua version for PlayStation 2). So, in 4chan dialect, keep the GAR. Lumina Montecarlo 12:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Zerokitsune. Edward321 04:29, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Zerokitsune. Katsuhagi 00:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
