Resident Evil monster list

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

My own view is that Wikipedia is not a game guide. The language used smacks of OR (e.g. no references) and the whole article has a walkthrough-like tone. My PROD was de facto contested by an IP by suggesting a merge with an official character list, but no details were provided, probably because they have completely different contexts. I doubt anything can be salvaged from this article. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 22:00, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep We have Mario enemies or List of characters in the Resident Evil series so I see no problem with having a list of enemies for a series as important as Resident Evil. However it's a "weak" keep because the article will need some clean up and be written in a more encyclopedic style if it were to stay. Laurent (talk) 22:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per User:Starblind. Laurent (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of creatures in the Resident Evil series. Notable series, notable topic, we need this article, we just alrready have a much more complete and thorough one. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:11, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per GAMEGUIDE and duplication statements above, term is possibly searchable. --M ASEM (t) 22:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect, is completely OR, and fails WP:GAMEGUIDE. Thanks,  Genius  101 Guestbook  22:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete redundant to List of creatures in the Resident Evil series which is itself, despite editors efforts, a soggy mess and will remain so till its eventually dealt with. It would be great if sources were spewing forth loads of lovely info about RE creatures, but they're not, during the last AFD for the creatures list I spent a long time looking for sources and was surprised at just how non-existent they were. Even longstanding multi-game foes like lickers are lacking any serious coverage and for every hunter or licker there's a clutch of totally nondescript foes in each game. The best info to be taken from the entire series' bestiary begins and ends with Nemesis (Resident Evil) which is as much an individual character as an enemy. Someoneanother 00:25, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete original research, wikipedia is not a game guide or a glossary, redundant to the "list of creatures" and, again, OR.Bali ultimate (talk) 13:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of creatures in the Resident Evil series. I don't see they cannot be included over there. However, both lists need some cleanup to get rid of original research. That is, I'm not fully convinced it runs afoul of WP:GAMEGUIDE, but it definitely would be OR. MuZemike 14:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Wholly OR, gameguide content that is completely redundant to List of creatures in the Resident Evil series. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 16:16, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge As above, there is an List_of_creatures_in_the_Resident_Evil_series article listing the creatures in the series already. No need for an article dedicated to the same thing.  If it is confirmed these three monsters listed here do exist in the series, they should be copied over to the other list, which doesn't have them yet.   D r e a m Focus  16:44, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete What is in the article is original research and pretty useless considering that we already have the other, better sourced, list.  Them From  Space  16:52, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
