The result was   merge or (only) redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters. I'm redirecting now. It's left to editorial judgment what, if anything, is worthy of merging from the history.  Sandstein  22:09, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Kokoro (Dead or Alive)

This video game character has no Notability,same as Articles for deletion/Zafina, this one should be deleted or merged as well. There is already a "list of character" article for this game series. And "other game characters also have their own articles" isn't a valid argument for this one to pass the Notability requirement. Shrine Maiden (talk) 18:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game related deletions. MrKIA11 (talk) 19:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to a list of characters. There are plenty of video game characters with their own articles. Stifle (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because other stuff exists doesn't mean this should. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't mean it shouldn't either. -- Happy editing!  Sincerely,  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 00:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Countering an 'other stuff exists' argument with an other 'other stuff exists' argument doesn't strike me as the best strategy. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 02:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Given the sources provided and changes made to the article since nomination, it is good enough. -- Happy editing!  Sincerely,  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Jelly Soup, despite her... ahem, assets. JuJube (talk) 23:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters, as it would be a useful redirect. 70.51.11.210 (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. -- Happy editing!

 * Redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters. I hate to use the C-word, but I'm afraid that's what this is. I also don't think there isn't anything worth merging to the list. And no, it's not that WP:IDONTLIKEIT, either. MuZemike (talk) 14:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weather forecast also calls for WP:SNOW. MuZemike (talk) 16:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Jelly Soup. Edward321 (talk) 00:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters as a more appropriate location for this character. If this information is eventually verified by reliable third-party sources that are independent of the game/publisher, then a split might be appropriate. But not yet. Randomran (talk) 15:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: As usual, she is indeed covered in reliable third-party sources independent of the game and publisher, such as "Dead or Alive 4 Girls Week #7 (X360): In this GameSpy exclusive, we take a look at some of the game's femme fatales. Today, it's Kokoro," "Dead or Alive 4: The Characters" (notice the second page of this four page article especially), etc. I have naturally begun referencing the article accordingly, but it's apparent that that in these sources enough information exists for someeone to add a reception section.  -- Happy editing!
