List of characters in TimeSplitters series

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete or Transwiki It's truly, utterly ridiculous that this article has existed more than 0 seconds. 90% of the stated characters do not have noteworthy appearances in the TimeSplitters storyline. The only character I know is noteworthy is Sgt. Cortez, the main character in TS 2 and TS:FP. I stated the "Transwiki" vote for the possibility that this info may not be in its respective wiki, though I'm confident most is. This article needs to be obliterated, let alone deleted. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit me  §   Contributions ♣ 07:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I also feel that, not only does this article needs to be deleted, but all connected articles dealing with unnoteworthy characters should be deleted, as well, if that can be done easily enough. ♣ Klptyzm  Chat wit me  §   Contributions ♣ 07:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm tempted to call it db-empty. I voted in above to merge the individual article into a list such as this, but this list needs to be pruned down significantly, and the notable characters explained in greater detail.  Perhaps the best way to do this is to start over. Resolute 07:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, but delete the spinoff articles - this article contains a number of links to bios of characters who do not merit their own article, e.g. Booty Guard. If all this info is merged into the article it will contain enough info to be viable; and most other fictional universes have their own "list of minor characters in..." article at present.

 * How would it be "viable?" Like I said above, most of the characters in this article are, by any means, noteworthy because, for one, most only appear in multiplayer, and not enough information is known about them to merit an article any bigger than a stub; I feel they don't even deserver article creations. Also, they, technically, aren't even minor characters, in most cases, but miscellaneous characters, if that makes any sort of sense. Most other articles that list minor characters list characters that have some sort of influence on the plot of the game, if not a minor one; this details characters you don't even see more than once (if at all) in the story. ♣ Klptyzm  Chat wit me  §   Contributions ♣ 18:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That there is information, but not enough information for a full article, is exactly the scenario where the WP:FICT guidelines state that merger into a "list of characters in X" article is appropriate. This article is such a list.  Uncle G 14:09, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So one ounce of information justifies the additions of literally insignificant characters to this list? Like I said above, 90% of these characters have no important role in TimeSplitters or its story. More than half of the info pertaining to each character is consisted of large amounts of OR, at best. If this doesn't get deleted, then all unimportant characters should be removed from the article, i.e., all characters that play no major role in the storyline. ♣ Klptyzm  Chat wit me  §   Contributions ♣ 20:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The whole article should still be deleted. Upon further examination of the article, I discovered that this article doesn't even address the main characters, let alone the supporting ones. This article, in it's current state, is utterley useless. ♣ Klptyzm  Chat wit me  §   Contributions ♣ 20:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and start over, per Resolute.--Kubigula (talk) 03:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete 1B6 09:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Most of the descritions are taken from the Gallery function, and written completely incorrectly. Seriously, the person responsible for this needs to be blocked.
