List of Monster Allergy characters

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

List of non-notable characters from a barely notable Comic Book/Cartoon series. The main Monster Allergy article is short enough that the important characters can have small entries in that article. Ridernyc 14:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The book/series is not "barely notable", it's probably just way way below / outside your interest and mine. The list includes notable and non-notable characters. By & large, if we have to have the damn things at all, I can see why the authors are taking what seems to be a very standard line for this sort of thing - article for the series, article listing characters, discrete articles for key characters. I considered merge, but in all honesty, I wouldn't. The article needs to point back to Monster Allergy - how many of these things have I seen with precisely zero content? Whatever. I think you;re on a hiding to nothing. --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The article totally ignores WP:Plot,WP:WAF, WP:Fiction, WP:RS, and probably a few more policies/guidelines. Ridernyc 14:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to Monster Allergy - article's short, with very little detail on characters. Merging the pages and turning the list into a prose summary seems a good idea.  WLU 15:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep The comic book and cartoon series appear to be very notable, as it was created and still in print in Italy, and the cartoon is shown in the US and Canada on Kids' WB and throughout Asia on Disney Channel Asia. There are more than 60 Google News hits for the series, in different languages. I think that the list of characters is an acceptable spin-off of the main article. A merge (including the information in Elena Potato and Ezekiel Zick) will IMO swamp the main article, which covers both the TV series and the comic book (which are notable enough for individual articles). The information about the actors who voice the characters is real world information. There is some WP:RS about the two main characters here, , but unfortunately it's in Italian.
