Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seto Kaiba


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to List of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters. I must give less weight to the "keep" opinions which only oppose merging because that would make the target article too large. This does not address the notability-based deletion argument, and ignores the possibility of merging only part of the content. Under these circumstances, consensus based on discussion as informed by relevant policies and guidelines supports a redirect, allowing a merger from the history at editors' discretion.

This does not establish notability independent of Yu-Gi-Oh! through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

 * Redirect to character list. DragonZero  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 21:05, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Merging into character list would make that article too large. VMS Mosaic (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if it should be kept or not but at worst this should be redirected since he was a major character in the work in question so it would make little sense for someone typing this not to get the info that they are looking for.--174.93.163.194 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:51, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Additional comment Character has detailed entries in www.urbandictionary.com, absoluteanime.com and comicvine.com. Checked WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources where none is listed as a bad source, of course that doesn't mean they are good sources.  The point is that there are a lot of third party non-circular sources. In addition, the article is mostly written in real world perspective although the writer(s) occasionally slip into in-universe wording. VMS Mosaic (talk) 06:07, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I can see this article being merged further down the line, a redirect would butcher the few sources this article has while merging it would make the character article too large. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:13, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List_of_Yu-Gi-Oh!_characters. No independent sources that I can find that discuss this character or its impact.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:03, 30 December 2013 (UTC).
