List of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition characters and adversaries

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Impenetrable list of characters in a computer game. I think this is unencyclopaedic and would be difficult to rewrite and restructure. Also completely unreferenced. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 07:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep While this article is badly in need of improvement, character lists are legitimate spin-out articles to keep the main article from growing too long. Edward321 (talk) 14:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Not if they lack the necessary sourcing and therefore notability, which this one does. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 00:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: If kept, should be moved to a more standard title like simply List of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition characters. Nifboy (talk) 23:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced, in-universe information with significant game guide content. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 00:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete.All we need is a little bit of hard work and lots of research and then this article would be fine. Sadly, there is so much stuff in that article that it would take a very long time to save this article.-- Gears of War  2  (NGG) 02:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - in-depth plot information unsuitable for inclusion in WP (WP:GAMECRUFT) Marasmusine (talk) 13:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I would tend to agree with Edward321. I have made an initial attempt to salvage the quality of the article.  It still needs a lot of work though.  AtticusX (talk) 11:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "I'm working on it" isn't enough to to justify notability. If the article is to be kept, it will need reliable sources to establish notability. Such sources should be presented to establish notability now, not at some arbitrary date in the future. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 14:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just a bunch of WP:GAMEGUIDE... Delete...--Unionhawk Talk 13:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Regardless of the work that's gone into this, it's still gamecruft unless someone can demonstrate now that it's notable. Subject matter for a fan site, but not WP. Letsplaydrums (talk) 14:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as excessive fictional detail, this is an action game with enough plot to see it through, yet this is listing every Tom, Dick and Harry no matter how trivial their existence. Character lists/articles can be very strong but there should be a need and good sourcing available, in this case it's just undue weight piled on characters which no more need listing individually than those in Project Sylpheed or most other games.
