List of Digimon Adventure (2020 TV series) characters

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga, the article is largely unsourced and also repeats information from List of Digimon Adventure characters given that the characters are the same from the original source material. Discussions were previously brought up at Talk:Digimon Adventure (2020 TV series) and Talk:List of Digimon Adventure characters. During the draft process, it was rejected at one point for lacking notability but was created anyway without addressing those issues. lullabying (talk) 02:31, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is a tip of iceberg when it comes to such list, but given next to no references, I don't see what makes a List of Fancruft better than Article on Facruft. A list of chracters can be a valid subsection of an article about a given work, but too many lists of characters are just fancruft holders. One to go, 10,000 to review, at least. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:31, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this needs to be done on a case by case basis as some of the lists that are borderline referenced have potential to be improved. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:24, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @Knowledgekid87 Yes, which is what we are doing here, aren't we? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:57, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. Barebones with two references, mostly just a copy from the list of characters found on the original series (very few new, original characters), and VERY WP:CRUFT. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 11:35, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same reasons stated above and the article doesn't add nothing substantially new compared to the other list. - Xexerss (talk) 12:34, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article of I created is reboot one and must seperate it from original one. - Harimua Thailand (talk) 11:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the current article lacks secondary sources to establish that its notable enough for Wikipedia. Plus, the main characters are pretty much the same as the original. lullabying (talk) 07:21, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per reasons above. lullabying perhaps nominate also List of Kirby characters? article is also full of WP:CRUFT. 125.30.83.73 (talk) 10:58, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * *Keep. The Reboot characters have multiple exclusive evolutions, if merge back with same Continuity characters which would make things way too confusing. - Harimua Thailand (talk) 22:36, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm sure anyone will be able to distinguish which continuity takes place, and just because there are new exclusive characters and evolutions doesn't necessarily mean it's enough to warrant a whole new page, especially when you barely have any secondary sources to show its notability. Also, the main characters are the same. lullabying (talk) 20:20, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * *Keep. per reasons above. - Harimua Thailand (talk) 22:52, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * *Keep The sourcing is enough. It's not good, it's not even okay. I would go so far as to say it's bad. But it's enough. - Harimua Thailand (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't have an opinion on this AFD but I should point out the above is an exact copy of a different user's comment from this recent AFD. Please don't do this in any future AFDs (at the least clearly cite where you are getting the words from) and also don't vote more than once. The closer will ignore multiple votes. Rhino131 (talk) 19:27, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I struck the multi-votes to make it easier for the closer, Harimua can combine the reasoning into their first "keep" vote above. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment. Writing yourself "Keep" four times will not give more weight to your position in this discussion. - Xexerss (talk) 17:25, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Saying the article has enough sources is useless if the article in question contains only primary and/or unreliable sources. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:21, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with others that the references are certainly not enough and it has cruft issues. Not to mention List of Digimon Adventure characters already exists so the characters from this series should probably just be there or in the main article. Link20XX (talk) 01:49, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Digimon Adventure characters. New characters in the 2020 TV series should have their own "Characters" section. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 08:18, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect The article is an unnecessary duplicate, that is what the majority of Delete votes have said - and I agree. However, a merge of the new characters, then redirect as discussed by WP:ATD-M and WP:MAD, seems most appropriate for this situation.Canadianerk (talk) 08:48, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect I suggest move it to a draft version of the page so that it can be rewritten into better sentences and adding more citations. Even for a reboot, a character page has its potential, but with better writing and wording. Say, a character in the reboot iteration only states what only existed in the reboot iteration so as to prevent it from being a copy-paste of the original iteration.
