Nazo
An article about this topic was deleted before, and a new one created later. As this one contains slightly more information, I would prefer not to delete this as a repost, but to first find out whether there is new information and whether this is just fan speculation or even a hoax. The following comments were added to the first nomination at two separate occasions and copied from there. Kusma (討論) 02:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The following comments were added in May by four different IPs and are about this version:
 * Delete -  Has nothing to do with the Nazo character and instead has to do with an unnotable fan comic. 71.245.135.10 19:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I say we delete it until we know more about this mysterious hedgehog


 * Delete -  The article does not provide the user with any helpful data on a non revealed character and instead explains the fan comic the power of nazo. If not deleted, rename the title to "The Power of Nazo"

This is the most recent nomination statement, added to the old AFD page today:
 * Information on character that likely doesn't exist, screenshot appears to be of Super Sonic. In addition, the info should be removed from the Sonic X article as well. TonicBH 01:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Please add new comments since the refactoring below.


 * Comment though I don't know enough about the issue and at current must log off and have no opportunity to find out, I must say that this should not be approached as any AfD. If you're voting keep, please explain explicitly why the previous AfD results are to be disregarded. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment If no new information about this topic is presented, this should be deleted as unsourced and unverified speculation. Kusma (討論) 02:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, unsourced, not about subject, fails WP:V, crystal-balling. --Coredesat 02:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep, I agree with Coredesat, but maybe it can just be marked with a 'future events' tag, and updated as more info comes in. It's a little too speculative, so I suppose I agree with Kusma. TrianaC 03:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This probably isn't notable enough to warrant a future events tag. --Coredesat 09:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete I think giving him his own seperate article is a bad idea, but I'd keep the small section in the main article, Sonic X, with some modifications. Way too many people look way too deeply into the "Nazo Issue", and it has been a source of frusteration for me that whenever the future of the TV series is brought up, somebody always has to mention this Nazo thing. That said, Nazo could possibly BE a different character - as he looks visibly different from Super Sonic, which was also seen in the same promo video that Nazo was. But there's obviously nowhere near the amount of mystery here that some people seem to think there is. At the very least, this is fancruft. BlazeHedgehog 03:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep The amount of speculation on the subject alone stands as the reason it should be kept. As I see it, unless more info is revealed, this will ALWAYS be a point of speculation amongst the fan base and should be kept for all who may see the screen and simply wonder what it is.  Also, it may be worth it to attempt to find out from Sega themselves why it was created.  At least then you can have some reliable info Grandmastergalvatron 05:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not WP is not a crystal ball.  LotLE × talk  06:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Musicpvm and LotLE, and also because it appears to be WP:OR. Paddles TC 09:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It mostly not true anyways. Nazo is his codename and has green eyes. If he was super sonic they would,ve showed him yellow from the start. it's based off the games. besides if you don't delete it at least put true inf. cuz i know and that ain't true.
 * Delete - looks like OR — Mets 501 (talk) 14:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sonic X. Accurizer 01:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sonic X. --Alexie 04:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This article can be of valuabe information as long as it states that it as a speculative nature. Besides, there is good information about it, and with time the article is possible to grow, maybe even have something to mention about the up coming Sonic The Hedgehog game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.157.50.33 (talk • contribs)
 * Re-direct or Merge to Sonic X per nom.--real _ decimic 03:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as while I don't really like this article, I have heard a lot of people discussing this, so really it has to have an article. Mrjeff 13:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, then write one that is verifiable, not just speculation. Or show that there is notable speculation (using reliable sources). Kusma (討論) 01:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Fan-cruft + crystalball = hypecruft. Kill it or userfy it now and when we find out what it really is (if notable at all,) someone can make a lovely article section with many bullet points about its myriad of powers. --Kunzite 20:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete --Blue Spider 18:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete or Redirect to Sonic X per arguments above. Universitytruth 21:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It gives information of a very debatable character, discussed by many people, and can give much information to talk about in said debates. SuperSonic
 * Who discusses this? Is there anything verifiable that can be said? Can you cite any source that says it is discussed by many people? Kusma (討論) 00:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Coredesat. Inner Earth 11:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
