This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 21:17, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletions. TTN (talk) 21:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to an appropriate page, possibly Mega Man Legends if there isn't a character list page. JuJube (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per JuJube.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge making if necessary a character page for the purpose & merging the other in. This did not need deletion. I ask TTN to say why he thinks a merge unsuitable. And, even if it were, why he thinks a redirect unsuitable. To bring articles here to force a merge is abusing our delteion policy--the place to propose and discuss it is on an article talk page.

 * Merge/redirect as appropriate. I too would prefer to see more effort to resolve the many spinouts just like this editorially before resorting to AfD. Holding the Sword of Damocles over them to force action assumes bad faith. Bring them here if merge fails to reach consensus. ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mega Man Legends series — Again, I disagree with merging. Where are the sources? Merging would only introduce unreferenced original research into another article. Simply put, merging, while a viable alternative to deletion, it not an excuse to keep unreferenced/unencyclopedic/original-research/etc. material. MuZemike (talk) 21:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
