The result was merge to Demon's Souls. Selective merge per postdif. This seems like an unlikely search term, so leaving a redirect behind doesn't seem required (but I'll leave that up to whoever does the merge). -- RoySmith (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * It has been pointed out to me that leaving the redirect is a requirement of Merge and delete, so whoever does the merge, please do that. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:LISTCRUFT: The list was created just for the sake of having such a list, the content is unverifiable or the underlying concept is non-notable. Also WP:FANCRUFT. No reliable secondary sources covering these characters. No indication of notability or importance outside the scope of the video game article. The1337gamer (talk) 09:10, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete or Redirect - Fails our notability guidelines, content more akin to something that would belong on a Wikia. Sergecross73   msg me  13:04, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

 * WP:SMERGE to Demon's Souls, which has no section for its characters at present. I'm always confused when people believe that the content of a notable work is somehow unverifiable, which would only be the case if all existing copies were destroyed. Or it rests on a misunderstanding of WP:OR that would forbid us from consulting primary sources ourselves (which we may consult, so long as we are only making "straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge."). Basic descriptions of video game characters can always be sourced to the game itself and its manual(s) (both from the game designer and from third-parties), and also often to reviews that describe the notable game. postdlf (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge with redirect as suggested. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:24, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
