 * Keep I dont see any real reason why to delete this, information other than cast actors for characters are hard to find and Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica looks like a notable visual novel. Have references been looked for here and has there been a discussion on deleting this article other than here? Knowledgekid87 19:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you confirm that this information is accurate? -- Magioladitis (talk) 23:17, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like a fairly typical spinout list for a fairly large multimedia franchise. For verification, the external links on the main article can verify much of the basic information, such as cast/credits. Deletion is not the way to go -- arguments over whether to merge back into Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica can be made, but frankly that'd make it a bit bloated. Keep. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep appropriate list-- the default way to handle these articles. But as no argument given why a merge  at the least would not be  ok, not a reasonable nomination in the first place  If we don't accept compromise on articles such as this, we're not being realistic.

 * Keep Well that's the standard treat for spread franchise. Two anime seasons + 2 videos games + 4-5 lights novels series within a shared universe, it is bound to a have non marginal numbers of characters with intricate relationships. So the list is the proper way to handle it. --KrebMarkt 08:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So can you people prove that these characters exist and the information is accurate? Can you give me a source, not the novel series nor the video games themselves, so I can check myself that most of the information is not a hoax or fan-made? I have a feeling that when the article says that Corticarte Apa Lagranges "has a selfish character and dislikes it when Phoron is being kind to other girls." is WP:OR. And later I can see "Her sole purpose for coming to the Tsuge Divine Music Player Office seems to be meeting with Phoron." Seems? Isn't written somewhere? Check for sentences with "seems". They are plenty there. This article is not based in any trusted third party sources. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:20, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * While I cant read japanese http://www.polyphonica.tv/character/index.html, http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/polyphonica/03chara/chara.html here are two orginal sources. I think this article needs some fixing up and not a delete. Knowledgekid87 (talk) 9:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Comment: This Afd is on whatever it is relevant for Wikipedia to have a separate characters list for the Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica not on the list content quality and verifiability which i agree are not good. --KrebMarkt 15:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per everyone but the nominator. Article clearly needs improvement, but that is not a reason for deletion. Edward321 (talk) 15:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Shinkyoku Sōkai Polyphonica is a notable series with both video game, manga, novel, and two seperate anime adaptations. The list has a clearly defined selection criteria and passes the other requirements at WP:STAND, which is the only thing we have resembling an inclusion guideline for lists. The list forces on the main characters for the series and avoids trivial information, such as incidental characters. Merging this back into the main article will result in an unbalanced article, so having a WP:SPINOUT article is warranted. --Farix (Talk) 19:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I see nothing wrong with the character list article. There are no convincing reasons to delete it.   D r e a m Focus  02:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
