Sirica (Kirby)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The result of the first afd (Articles for deletion/Sirica (Kirby)) was to redirect it to Kirby series characters. Since the latter article has now been deleted, the article could possibly be a WP:CSD. However, given that someone has already recreated its content and that the first afd was a bit ago, I have decided to bring it here again. Tizio 13:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That was a wise choice, if I may say so. If you ask me, it's neither R1 nor G4 and the article should be judged on its own merits. I know positively nothing about this series (I've heard of the games but that's pretty much it) and therefore I'm somewhat on the fence about this one. As I understand it, this is a nothing more than a minor character in an Anime series that may be featured in upcoming episodes. It's apparently popular among the show's fans but there are no sources to back that up. So... is that its claim to fame? Because the article talks about the show's "second to last episode", which indicates that it has already been canceled. The character is also already mentioned here. And while I realize that some of the point brought up in the original AfD have been addressed in this rewritten version but, as far as I can see (and I may very well be wrong about that), it's still a minor character who is hardly notable and some parts of the article still look like OR to me. That's why I'm thinking delete but I'd be happy to change my vote if someone familiar with this show can show that the character is indeed notable. -- Seed 2.0 15:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I would like to point out that an anime show having a "second to last episode," does not mean the same thing it might for an American network sitcom, for example. Most anime series, as I understand it, have a specific story arc and length in episodes that is decided during production, having nothing to do with the popularity of the series once it is aired.  Therefore, the existence of a "second to last episode" ought not be considered direct evidence of a series's non-notability.  Charlie 21:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Anime and manga-related deletions.   -- Ned Scott 05:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge to Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Minor Characters. If you cut all the random fan shipping and commentary, it will fit into that page well enough. --tjstrf talk 03:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
