List of Saint Seiya character techniques

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Excessive trivia that is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans and serves no encyclopedic purpose. This is a violation of WP:IINFO, WP:TRIVIA, and WP:WAF. The information is based entirely on primary sources with no coverage by independent reliable sources. —Farix (t &#124; c) 10:54, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete - Trivial, overly detailed plot-only information with no secondary sources and nothing to show any sort of notability. Merging any information here into the List of Saint Seiya characters is not an option as that would merely serve to bloat that article (already suffering from the need for cleanup) further with information that is pure fancruft.

 * Delete- In-universe trivia "sourced" only to the work of fiction itself. Rorshacma is right that stuffing this cruft into other articles would make them worse. Reyk  YO!  22:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - The topic obviously lacks notability to have its own article, but I'm not sure if it should not be merged at least partially into the existing character lists. Some of this information concerns anime and manga that have not yet been licensed in English and the techniques are a big part of these series, so is it really all right to leave those character lists featuring unofficial translations only?

 * Why are the character articles listing techniques? They don't add anything to the character descriptions and are just trivia of interest to a small group of fans. I've taken the WP:BOLD step of removing the listings there. —Farix (t &#124; c) 10:19, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Given the series' genre, the techniques could be considered a defining trait of the characters, but I see where you're coming from. Since all the unofficial translations are now gone from the character articles, I have no further problems accepting this resolution. Cyn starchaser (talk) 12:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Pure trivia and fancruft. Only for fans of the series, probably belongs in a Saint Seiya wiki somewhere. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
