List of bonus characters in Soul Calibur III
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; listcruft and unencyclopedic. This article is unsourced (one website is given and nothing is cited) and full of original research in the trivia section. Furthermore, the biography sections are all cut and paste jobs from the singular website given as a source. As such, this is a WP:COPYVIO violation  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 17:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nom
 * This doesn't work like RFA, your nomination is your vote. -- nae'blis (talk) 17:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed, a nominator's vote is a bit redundant. I'll make a note for future nominations.  Thanks!   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 17:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Gamecruft. -- nae'blis (talk) 17:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, bonus character info is probably too minor to merge into the main Soul Calibur III article. Recury 17:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I like it, and it states the source in the first paragraph, http://www.soularchive.jp/ --Phred Levi 19:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. List cruft. Zos 21:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Unsourced? Original Research!? Just what the hell!? The source is clearly stated on the beginning of the page, and the page has only Profiles (taken from the pages already listed) and trivia, which I suppose doesn't need to be "sourced". I'd take the time to, if given the option, merge the character from where they came from originally: the minor characters' list. But the reasoning for this is really absurb. --Johnny Master 23:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Listing one website does not mean the article is sourced. Nothing is cited in the entire article.  Futhermore, I decided to look at the website given and found that most of the article is a direct cut and paste job from that website.  As such, I have tweaked my nomination.
 * If everything comes from said website, what's the point on citing anything!? The cut-&-paste was part of my scheduled work to clean-up, as I've already did to Olcadan, Setsuka and Tira (three characters who were also cut-&-paste works). And once again, what OR in the trivia!? Point me that and I myself would quickly dispose of it. --Johnny Master 23:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Citations should be used for verification purposes and also when quoting someone else see this for further explanation. As none of your information is cited, all the trivia can be construed as original research (see the definition of original research for clarification)   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 23:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Forget this. I'm frankly losing my time in this place. There's nothing left to say, only I encourage you to go and delete all the Tekken and Soul entries, as not a single one of their Trivia sections nor other ones are cited. I'll just leave and move and take a sleep, of the eternal-type. Thanks... --Johnny Master 23:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as a copyright violation. Original versions of this article are a direct cut-and-paste from http://soul-chaos.tripod.com/id11.html and http://soul-chaos.tripod.com/id12.html with further content coming from http://www.soularchive.jp/. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.104.45.165 (talk • contribs).

 * I don't know much about copyrights, or even what Wikipedia says about them, but if all this is a mere cut-and-paste job, then link to the cut-and-paste. Would that be too much of a copyright violation? -Shadow the Edge-hog 18:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but complete re-write per copyright violation. We have articles on all the playable characters in the Soul series.  A joint article for unplayable characters fits well with that. I don't see how this is unverifiable and it didn't appear to be a game guide either.Ace of Sevens 23:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of minor Soul Calibur characters. Ace of Sevens 04:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, probably copy vio, and even if it isn't, it's game guide information. Proto ::  type  08:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for game guide information. Poppercorn 23:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and Merge. This is not game guide type information.  It is fully verifiable and from what I've played of the SC III RTS-ish campaign, mostly correct.  The main problem is the copyvio.  I suggest we delete this article but incorporate the basic essence of it into the List of minor Soul Calibur characters per Ace of Sevens.  -- Solberg 02:03, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
