Attempts to merge/redirect these articles to the character list have repeatedly been undone by Argentine IPs and editors and  who refuse to accept that the characters are not notable. These same editors have also been removing content from the main list to the sub articles.

The prefered outcome is a merge of all of these articles the the character list, however since these editors have refused all attempts, The New Angel even undoing the merge outcome of Articles for deletion/Death Generals multiple times, it is best to just wipe out everything except for the character list. —Farix (t &#124; c) 18:43, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

It may also be necessary to block and  for disruptive editing and semi-protect the character list. —Farix (t &#124; c) 18:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Update. Bagramon's AfD was closed as redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters - frankie (talk) 19:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Have you tried reporting the users involved as disrupting wikipedia? If there was a consensus to merge and the same editors keep undoing things then I can see it as a possible reportable offense. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect ALL and Protect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters, I merged the referenced info that was in Cutemon and Greymon (Xros Wars) to the character list. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Edit update, Protection is needed given recent edits - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep/Comment: First off, Taiki is a main character so he's long overdue for his page. Second, I've been setting up the pages to reflect those of existing Digimon pages(Agumon, ETC.)Fractyl (talk) 22:52, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Added Comment: But I think the only ones that need pages are Kiriha & Nene, being main characters, and Beelzemon & Greymon as they are reversions much like Agumon (Savers). As for Bagramon, I must comply with judgement as his appearances have been limited and more data by the series finale would fix that. Both Shoutmon and DarkKnightmon are allowed to keep their respective pages so shortening on the character page was neccasary The rest listed, Death Generals included, need no new pages as far as I'm concerned.Fractyl (talk) 02:23, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Being a main or even significant character does not allow a character to assert notability and therefore have a stand-alone article. Notability of a character can only be established by coverage by reliable, third-party sources. Third-party meaning that the source must be independent of the subject. So far, none of the characters have received such coverage. —Farix (t &#124; c) 11:43, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, both DarkKnightmon and Greymon received it in the form of Amazon and Toysnjoys.Fractyl (talk) 17:37, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect and protect all as per nom. No out-of-universe context or notability. --Crusio (talk) 15:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect all - per nominator. There's no independent notability. --Anthem 09:28, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: Anthem of joy has been blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas. —Farix (t &#124; c) 18:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect all per above. Neutralitytalk 18:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: If redirect is being reverted improperly, page protection is in order. Neutralitytalk 18:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect and protect. The default way of dealing with this.   DGG ( talk ) 07:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Greymon (Xros Wars), redirect the rest of the articles to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters and protect all articles: None of the fictional characters and armies meets general notability guideline and all are plot-only descriptions of a fictional work. Due to the disambiguation in the article title of Greymon (Xros Wars), it is not a plausible search term, so a redirect is not necessary for that article. The rest of the articles are plausible search terms and a redirect is enough. Given the recreation history of the articles, all need to be protected. Jfgslo (talk) 15:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, redirect, or, if anyone cares enough to do it, merge after a very heavy trimming. Leaving the articles languishing indefinitely because no one can be bothered to merge would be almost as poor a result as keeping. These articles contain no evidence of real-world notability and are very poorly referenced. J Milburn (talk) 10:39, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
