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) 15:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. and because there is no significant coverage cited from reliable sources (in fact, no sources at all). —Wknight94 (talk) 19:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge per common consensus and WP:BEFORE to List of Legend of the Galactic Heroes characters, which needs the material anyway. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I oppose specifically the merge option for a simple reason. There is nothing in that article supported by any citation, and it all reads as armchair psychological profiling. ThuranX (talk) 04:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The plot content of fictional works are implictly source to the work itself, per WP:WAF; if there's WP:OR in there, strip it out as part of the merge. Besides, we need to leave a redirect behind for searches and incoming links. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect into a suitable article or list of minor characters. Such should be the default way to deal with these, and it does not take AfD. The argument above is appropriate for the article talk page in discussing the merge/redirect --it would indicate a redirect is the better solution. Is there any argument against a redirect?

 * Merge to the main list of characters. I made the page back when Wikipedia was more tolerant of articles. As mentioned above, the plot is the source of a fictional work. the_one092001 (talk) 20:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to main list of characters. Yang is not a minor character. ··· 日本穣 ? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
