The result was   delete. I would normally close an AFD like this as merge or no consensus, but the article is completely bereft of sources which would be required in the merge target. Stifle (talk) 09:23, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Specter (Ape Escape)

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

This character does not establish notability independent of the video game series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 22:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Smerge into Ape Escape (series). Again, purely a rehash of the plot. Nifboy (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * keep or merge The information is needed somewhere. He is apparently the key character for the various games, and it might be clearer to keep it separate. There is however a main article that would do for the merge. I doubt all the plot detail is needed, but that's an editing question. No reason given to delete rather than mergeDGG (talk) 00:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — Article contains mainly original research and unverifiable plot summaries (hence the inuniverse tag). MuZemike (talk) 16:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge non-redundant content to characters list. - A Link to the Past (talk) 16:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Plot summary and in-universe detail with no real-world information. Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject indicates that this topic is non-notable. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 06:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
