The result was   delete. The trouble with the merge proposal is that there does not appear to be much more worth merging which isn't covered in the article already. Redirect to Brütal Legend may be done at editorial discretion. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

List of characters in Brütal Legend

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Was a PROD, removed with a suggestion of a merge. I would be all for than in normal situations, but in this case, the main article already contains all this information (there's a characters section with voices and a full plot that this duplicates). The few characters not represented (Fletus, etc.) are minor and do not impact the story, and thus need not be mentioned. In general, one-off works like this do not need a separate character list and thus there is no need for this article. M ASEM (t) 22:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * With no sources and no notability, I say yes to the deletion. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 23:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I will say this: there actually are probably sources for 50% of this list outside of plot, most discussed in the present Brutal Legend article. In other words I would agree this list would meet notability requirements with some effort to add sources. But I would still think it very redundant and unnecessary to the present article about the game given the limited level of detail we can source in that fashion. Again, I still point to my statement that a list of characters from a single work are rarely appropriate to have if you can build that into the main article.  --M ASEM  (t) 23:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - important characters should be included within the plot summary of the main article. Marasmusine (talk) 10:09, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agreed that notable characters should be in the main article. Additionally this isn't a long-standing series that merits some sort of list.  Truthfully it comes down to WP:GAMECRUFT when all these minor characters are listed for a non-series game. --Teancum (talk) 15:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * merge I suggested the merge, though with some hesitation as I am aware of the duplication of coverage. I did so, because I think the presentation here was clearer in general, though iI did not match up individual characters. . That's the sort of thing to discuss on the talk page.
