List of The Legend of the Legendary Heroes characters

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Yet another long list of in-universe plotcruft with no real world notability outside of the fandom. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 23:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to The_Legend_of_the_Legendary_Heroes, a section that's way too short and can use more content, even if it's plot summary. Sadly, there is no evidence that NLIST or GNG is met for the separate list of characters. Btw, I did enjoy that show. Just saying :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:05, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, or Merge to The_Legend_of_the_Legendary_Heroes per Piotrus. I think there is merit in keeping the list around as a separate page, since there's a lot of characters and listing them all on the main page would be potentially cumbersome, but if not I am not opposed to merging. However, it needs to be greatly condensed and copyedited in either case. Joyce-stick (talk) 10:01, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What about limiting the merge to just the main characters? That's what I did on an AfD for another anime w/ a large cast. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable. I'm not familiar with the source, but even just skimming the list there do seem to be a lot of characters who don't play all that big of a role in the narrative, so they seem able to be safely omitted.
 * In the case that we opt for a merge, however, I'd stress that it may be a decent idea to consider the potential for resurrecting the list in the future if anyone can find sufficient sourcing to better prove notability (it's entirely possible there's non-English sources that have been overlooked).

 * Merge the core characters to The_Legend_of_the_Legendary_Heroes. There is nothing indicating this much depth is necessary for a general encyclopedic overview of the topic, and there are no sources showing independent notability for the grouping as a whole. TTN (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per Piotrus. Zakaria ښه راغلاست (talk) 20:17, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to The_Legend_of_the_Legendary_Heroes, unlike the other character list AfD's, the depth seems quite reasonable at first glance. If a merger can be done that preserves content for the main & important secondary characters then merge it, otherwise if it makes the main article too long then keep per WP:SIZESPLIT. I don't watch this series so I can't make an determination either way. Jumpytoo Talk 03:33, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per WP:CONSENSUS. This list does not meet the WP:GNG because it doesn't have WP:SIGCOV in reliable independent sources. But an editor may summarize some of it for the plot section at the main article. Jontesta (talk) 04:48, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have added cut-down versions of the Main Characters to the main article. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 23:03, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Would you confirm that you edited that down from Special:PermanentLink/1102878752? Please do not merge or copy during the AfD per WP:Guide to deletion, point 5 (how-to guide, shortcut WP:EDITATAFD). Also, please follow WP:Copying within Wikipedia (guideline, shortcut WP:PATT).

 * I didn't make any changes to the article under AfD, but I did copy/paste some of it over to the main article, since the idea of a merge has been brought up. Feel free to revert if that's not within policy. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 06:10, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
