Summary
This was alot to sort through. Some bad faith and sarcasm made it a little difficult to grab as a snapshot. In the end there are certainly more people calling for deletion of most of these articles, and their arguments are more sound than the keepers. DGG's explanation sums it up best, methinks, the main article should not have been bundled here. As a standalone AFD, it would have probably been snowed... bundling it does not help matters... it makes for a messy afd like this one. My decision is Merge all into Mandalorian. Since this requires keeping the articles and redirecting them, and since I will not be the one doing the merging, this will result in a keep closure for all with instruction to editors to merge them accordingly.
