List of Animal Crossing residents
Blatant game-guide. While Characters in the Animal Crossing series, a terrible article, at least covers characters who appear in every copy of a game and have a somewhat important role, this is a list of randomly-appearing (every player's game will have about a half-dozen from this list) characters who are nothing more than a fixed appearance and one of four personality profiles. Absolutely nothing verifiable can or ever will be said about these characters in any reliable source, save for the inane game-guide fact that they appear in such-and-such game and have one of the four personality profiles. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge with Animal Crossing series since plenty of articles have Wikitables like that one. SNS 02:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is pure GameFAQs content, and if it's merged there, I will be deleting it from that article per WP:NOT, just as an editorial decision. Nothing can be added to this list of essentially unimportant names but more game-guide info. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:NOT. wikipediatrix 03:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. Mitaphane talk 10:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: looks like something that should be in a game guide, not wikipedia. Mitaphane talk 10:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete awfull article. Wikipedia is not the place to publish game manuals, specially obscure games --Mecanismo | Talk 11:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Animal Crossing isn't big in Portugal, but in both Japan and the United States, it's a huge series. Obscure? Not even a little bit. -- Kicking222 12:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per SNS. -- Kicking222 12:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is a game guide, not an article. J I P  | Talk 14:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm really wondering here: HOW IS THIS A GAME GUIDE? The article is merely a list of characters, just with little information on them. There's no "guide" here: the page doesn't tell you how to become friends with these characters, or what actions can be taken when they're around, or list off some cheats to allow you to make these characters topless. I've never even played this game, so it's not as if I have some vested interest in it. But at least three different people above have used the phrase "game guide", which this is not. -- Kicking222 15:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not so much a guide as a document that will only be of interest and use to players of Animal Crossing. Too specific information about elements in a specific computer game is not encyclopedic enough for Wikipedia. J I P  | Talk 16:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a checklist. Game guides for Animal Crossing will often be just lists of things, since the game doesn't have much in the way of goals, so a common make-your-own-goal is seeing all of a type of thing. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 16:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Expand greatly I don't think that it's fair to have Creatures in the Metroid series, the talk page of which has no mention of the word "Game Guide," and delete this. This is a list of characters with more personality and purpose in their game than Autoads, Drivels, and Proboscums have in Metroid, yet for some reason, this is a Game Guide and Creatures in the Metroid series isn't. 64.175.36.108 22:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think the Metroid lists should be deleted too. wikipediatrix 22:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Expand it with what? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly it is not a game guide. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
 * Merge per SNS. Pixelface 01:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge into Characters in the Animal Crossing series, NOT Animal Crossing series. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 13:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Those characters listed on the page are non-notable, incredibly minor to the point of interchangability, and do not even necessarily exist in the player's game. There is nothing to actually say about them. --tjstrf 22:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - With no merge - excessively minor "characters". Wickethewok 17:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Combination 20:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. RandyWang ( chat/patch ) 12:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I am opposed to deleting this or any article. If ANYONE deletes this page, I will re-create it.
 * Merge, merge, MERGE!
 * And if you do, the admins will rightfully speedy delete as a recreation of deleted content. You aren't allowed to just unilaterally override an afd like that. WP:DRV is the proper venue for such things. --tjstrf 20:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
