The result was   Keep, but needs a good trimming, some of the character sections could be usefully reduced - I have removed some of the more obvious WP:OR. Black Kite 08:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

List of characters in the Cloverfield universe

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a big repetition of the plot of the movie Cloverfield and the manga prequel. It is therefore duplicative and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge Important information should be merged with Cloverfield, especially at least a summary of the characters. Gary King ( talk ) 00:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is original research. -- Mikeblas (talk) 01:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep A discussion of fiction through a list of character sis not plot summary, though it can be derived from the fiction--for a film like this, it's an alternate way of presenting the material, clearer in many respects than alternatives. It is not duplication to have alternate ways of handling these topics. DGG (talk) 01:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:FICT. Excessive plot summary without real-world notability that should be merged into the main article. Terraxos (talk) 02:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge: It would probably be best to move some of the information to cast section of the Cloverfield article, at least about 5 sentences or so for each character. Cinemaniac ( talk  •   contribs   •   critique ) 01:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It's the best way to have a summary characters, and the reason why it's so crappy is because 1) Wikipedia is under attack by prankters 2) No one gave a damn about checking and editing. --4444hhhh (talk) 19:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe so. I've just given the article a massive overhaul &mdash; well, for the film's characters, at least, since I'm most familiar with them &mdash; and you can check out my recent contributions at the article's history.

 * Keep The article needs work but then what does not? Zginder 2008-06-02T01:42Z (UTC)
 * Keep: After giving it more thought, I say it'd be best to keep this article. All it needs is a little improvement, and I'm sure the issues stated can be addressed and fixed in time. Cinemaniac ( talk   •   contribs   •   critique ) 02:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as the plot summary and some short descriptions in the main Cloverfield article should suffice. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  02:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
