Minor MK character fails notability. Most of the sources at the reception are just awful. GlatorNator (talk) 12:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 13:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Mortal Kombat characters, another unjustified spinout. (Or just restore what I assume was there before the split). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:40, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Mortal Kombat characters. This is a hard one since I restored and rewrote the article years ago and was getting ready to go back in there and clean it up. However, I've realized that nothing has really changed about him in subsequent series appearances since then, despite being the Big Bad in MKX. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  06:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - As with the Baraka nomination, I do have to ask how much effort GlatorNator is putting into these "failed Google searches" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Baraka_(Mortal_Kombat). Here's some other sources that were somehow unable to be found in OP's attempt, yet were found in seconds by me - https://www.giantbomb.com/shinnok/3005-405/, https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/MortalKombatShinnokAndQuanChi, https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/shinnok.html, https://altarofgaming.com/character/shinnok/, https://www.cbr.com/mortal-kombat-shinnok-good-lame-bad-guy/, https://www.warnerbros.co.uk/news/articles/2021/01/06/komplete-history-mortal-kombat-part-2, https://www.mksecrets.net/index.php?section=mkx&lang=eng&contentID=7929&title=Mortal-Kombat-X-Characters-Bios, https://primagames.com/tips/mortal-kombat-x-how-play-shinnok-combos-and-strategies, https://screenrant.com/mk11-aftermath-kronika-shinnok-mortal-kombat-time-powers/. The character obviously passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. KatoKungLee (talk) 18:18, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:USERG and WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE as this is demonstrating a basic lack of knowledge about policies. It would not be so bad if you didn't continue to post unusable sources in discussions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ Have you gone through every single source I posted?KatoKungLee (talk) 18:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @KatoKungLee, please stop bludgeoning these MK AfDs with barrages of external links that clearly do not meet VG notability requirements, and I'm more than familiar with the sources listed. Where to begin: The Giant Bomb page is nothing more than a glorified wiki. TV Tropes is entirely user-submitted content. Fighters' Generation is a fan-created character database. Altar of Gaming is a nonviable VG source. Gameplay guides and "about character X" by niche gaming sites do not establish notability. Warnerbros.co.uk is a primary source. MK Secrets...'nuff said. Lastly, since you mentioned it, I searched for sources for Baraka months ago under various additional keywords and came up empty. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  06:13, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect To List of Mortal Kombat characters. No SIGCOV, lots of cruft.  // Timothy :: talk  10:08, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to List of Mortal Kombat characters: Character is not independently notable to the point that a spinout is appropriate. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:22, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
