Yugi Mutou

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional anime/manga character, primary source references only, no reception section. Fails WP:GNG. Prod declined by anon who suggested a soft delete (redirecting to List of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters). A reasonable compromise, perhaps. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect to List of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters, as was done with Seto Kaiba per Articles for deletion/Seto Kaiba. As the main character of the franchise, this obviously shouldn't be a red link when we have a character list.  I oppose any sort of soft delete (which isn't the same thing as a redirect), as the history should remain in case anyone wants to merge content to the list or finds enough sources to restore the stand-alone article.

 * Redirect I agree with Calathan. I think it's reasonable to assume that the article could be improved in the future to solve the issues such as notability, but until that time it does not need or justify a separate article. However the edit history and current version of the page may prove a useful start should someone provide some evidence of notability. SephyTheThird (talk) 21:01, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect Character isn't notable on its own however since people actually do search for Yugi on his own then a redirect is the best bet. —Kirt Message 23:09, 18 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters, I don't see any real world information in the form of concept or reviews to have this have a stand alone article. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
