Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel)

Why is this getting deleted?
There’s already pages for other characters, (eg. Charlie) and it’s a pretty good thing for Lucifer to have his own article seeing as he is literally Satan in Christianity, and there should be a distinction between Lucifer, as in Christian Satan, and this show’s version of the character.

 * @Orrin F I already explained in the rationale. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory. See also WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Spinixster   (chat!)  04:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Orrin F Wikipedia has established a lot of guidelines to ensure that articles properly fit the overall goal of building an encyclopedia. There is some disagreement of whether this article on Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel conforms to this goal and guidelines. The discussion here is led to build a consensus (or at least show an overview of argument-based opinions) on this question. You are welcome to participate in that discussion if you like.

 * That's what I was trying to do. I was attempting to join the disscussion. (Well, start the discussion, because it seems like I was the only one here) Orrin F (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The actual discussion if this article should be deleted or not (or merged or...) is active at Articles for deletion/Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel), you've happened upon the talk page to the deletion discussion rather than the discussion itself. If you want your voice to be heard, you should participate there, ideally with policy-based arguments. For example, "It's a good thing for Lucifer to have his own article because there's already pages for other characters, (eg. Charlie)." is a valid opinion, but not an ideal argument, as pointed out at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Every topic is evaluated on its own merits, with usually the existence of "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources" as most important critereon. In case you are interested, more details on the general process can be found at Introduction to deletion process and related pages. Daranios (talk) 15:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think that's what happened. I clicked the link to go to the discussion, and it brought me here to the talk page. Orrin F (talk) 15:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
