The result was   delete. LiteralKa's opinion is given less weight per WP:WAX, likewise the "merge" opinions that do not take into account that the contested content is unsourced and as such unsuitable for retention per WP:V.  Sandstein  20:22, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

List of Saints Row 2 characters

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fancruft, does not use any reliable sources. CR4ZE (talk) 09:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and this is different from any other "list of X characters" page? LiteralKa (talk) 02:54, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - most the 'other' list pages have the same problem, like GTA IV. I'm nominating these two pages because I've edited a few Saints Row pages and want to retain the best quality coverage. There's no notability and no sources here, and everything is in-universe. This sort of content belongs at Wikia, not Wikipedia. CR4ZE (talk) 07:43, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge with lots of trimming to a List of characters in the Saints Row series as its confirmed the third game reuses some. A series character article list would be reasonable, but there is far too much plot detail for minor characters in this list. --M ASEM (t) 12:52, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That could work in theory, but it doesn't solve the problem of there being no information other than in-universe character histories. Perhaps if we can find some information on how the characters were designed, influenced and critically received? CR4ZE (talk) 07:29, 4 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - Per just about everything CR4ZE has said. It's all gamecruft and no sources. Sergecross73   msg me   13:44, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge or delete. If merge, into List of Saints Row characters. It hasn't got any sources that give it any independent notability, though it might have more like if covering the entire series. Harry Blue5 (talk) 00:59, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge this and the other list into a series list if it still doesn't work, and sources aren't added after a while, then it could be redirected to the games or series articles. Blake (Talk·Edits) 16:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - plot information belongs in the plot summary of the game. Insufficient out-of-universe context to justify a separate article (WP:WAF). Marasmusine (talk) 10:04, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:NOTJUSTPLOT because there are no sources that discuss significance and reception. Needs reliable sources to WP:verify notability of this group of things, but they don't exist. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:02, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. No refs, just an indiscrimate list with so little game context it isn't encyclopedic. Szzuk (talk) 20:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
