Tyrael

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

This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 21:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Neutral I am hesitant to vote delete as he's a central character to the Diablo series but looking at the article here there's nothing that can really be salvaged. I am thinking a redirect to an appropriate location. JuJube (talk) 08:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge somewhere appropriate.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge just like the other such article making if necessary a character page for the purpose & merging the other in. This did not need deletion. To bring articles here to force a merge is abusing our delteion policy, and I suggest a speedy close.  DGG (talk) 15:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Diablo II — I disagree with merging. Where are the sources? What about original research? Merging would only introduce unreferenced original research into another article. Simply put, merging, while a viable alternative to deletion, it not an excuse to keep unreferenced/unencyclopedic/original-research/etc. material. In addition, if there is a problem with these AfDs, I recommend they initiate a Request for comment for user conduct or higher instead of soapboxing here.

 * Redirect to Diablo II, where all the relevant info is. Nifboy (talk) 23:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge There isn't much online that mentions him. I found a reliable source that mentions his role in Diablo 2, Blizzard's Diablo III: The Adventures Go On (says that Tyrael destroyed the Worldstone) but that's not enough to have a solid article. Ideally, this article would be structured much like Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog (character); in particular, it would go into his development like Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog (character), etc, but I don't know where to find making-of material for Diablo II. Maybe with the release of Diablo III there will enough content for him to be article-worthy, but for now... not so much. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 07:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
