Miscellaneous characters of Command & Conquer
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article lacks significant coverage in reliable third party sources, which cannot be found. Thus, this article fails our general notability guideline. Past AFD stated that sources existed and to give this article time, but in due time the article has not found sources, giving weight to my finding that the only coverage of this topic is insignificant, or in inappropriate/unreliable/non-independent sources.

 * This one has me confused, because if a past discussion already closed as keep, I do not see how someone can start a second discussion? --Elisabeth Rogan (talk) 17:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Consensus can change. Stifle (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In addtion, the article has had more than 5 months to improve sources as warranted by the previous AFD. There doesn't seem to have been any effort to do so. --M ASEM  23:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Elisabeth Rogan indef'ed. See WP:AN. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  00:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Randomran's reasons are highly cogent in this case.  --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 18:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of citations from reliable sources which lead me to believe that the verifiability policy is not complied with in respect of this article. Stifle (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG and WP:OR, also fails WP:VGSCOPE. ~ Ningauble (talk) 21:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as usual, this is the way we should want to handle these characters, and the way we usually do. Thei ndividual items in a list do not have to be notable.  DGG (talk) 02:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment That's not what WP:N says. Also, that ignores WP:V that says "if no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." We delete character lists that fail their WP:BURDEN all the time, and have become more serious about enforcing this in the past few months. For a few examples, see AFDs for: Minor Deus Ex characters, Avatar: The Last Airbender major secondary characters, Characters in the Animal Crossing series, Characters in Star Ocean: The Second Story, Dragon Quest VIII characters, Valkyrie Profile characters, Characters of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Cogs, and Leaders in Panzer General II. Not to say we delete every list of this kind, but we do enforce our policy and guidelines. Randomran (talk) 13:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge Soviet, Allied, and "misc" (non-aligned) character articles into a single list article. The name of this article is misleading anyways. 70.51.9.124 (talk) 08:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - Standard use of list for NN characters. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - We already have four other lists (and that's just character lists), I don't see the value of a fifth. Nifboy (talk) 22:40, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
