Sinon (Sword Art Online)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Sword Art Online is among my favorite anime, but sadly I don't think Sinon is notable enough to have her own article (she hasn't really been covered in reliable coverage). Nominating this for deletion instead of requesting a merge as the article is pure fancruft and any decent material is already at List of Sword Art Online characters (which itself needs work). Not opposed to a redirect, although given that people would have to type "(Sword Art Online)", a more plausible redirect would be Shino Asada (which already exists as a redirect).

 * Delete The article reads like it was copied from the Wikia, especially with a Relationships section. No sourcing. No coverage in independent secondary reliable sources. No notability; is she even a main or title character, when she is way low on the List of Sword Art Online characters list? AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:05, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I am convinced that Sinon isn't a major character in the series. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:22, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect at minimum. She was the central character of that arc. Definitely a major character who in future arcs becomes one of the regular characters. VMS Mosaic (talk) 07:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Sword Art Online characters. She seems to be a major character in the second season of the show (for example, her name shows up in List of Sword Art Online II episodes 63 times, and she is pictured front and center in the page image on that page).  Unless anyone finds sources that show real-world notability then the article shouldn't be kept as a stand-alone article, but redirects are cheap, and I don't see any reason to not to have a redirect.  I personally often type things with parenthetical disambiguators expecting to get a redirect to wherever Wikipedia actually covers the subject, so I think "Sinon (Sword Art Online)" is a reasonable redirect that would actually be useful to some users.
