Article relies mostly on rankings, and after doing WP:BEFORE shows nothing more. thus, failing WP:GNG. I feel Revali and even Mipha are also be not notable but a dual nomination would be "reckless action". GreenishPickle! (🔔) 23:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Characters of The Legend of Zelda. I believe that there should be a split-off character list for BOTW, as the characters have been discussed as a group, but I don't see a single smidgen of evidence that Daruk on his own is notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:38, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Doesn't seem to be discussed as an individual character in RS, purely in list-articles and articles on the game as a whole. This sort of game attracts a lot of media coverage, but it's mostly just describing the game plot and play experience, so WP:NOTPLOT, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE apply. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:32, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge mostly WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs that don't pass the WP:GNG. But there is some verifiable content to merge, as WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:27, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on deletion. But I note that the name is a spelling (in Sydney, Australia) of the local [Dharug] tribe: for example, there was a Daruk detention centre (Offending Institution: Daruk Boys Home). So if the current article is deleted, could "Daruk" be redirected to [Dharug] perhaps, rather than to the game character?Rick Jelliffe (talk) 13:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article can simply be moved to Daruk (The Legend of Zelda) or something along those lines. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge. I loved Breath of the Wild as much as the next person, but none of the Champions from Breath of the Wild seem to pass WP:GNG, this one especially. NegativeMP1 (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Like Revali. Daruk doesn't have much sourcing beyond trivial mentions, listicles, or Creating a Champion. Probably send to Characters of The Legend of Zelda. ULPS (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Daruk simply does not have enough meat on his bones to justify a separate article. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 01:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Link, Zelda, and Ganon having their own pages makes sense, but the minor characters, particularly those only originating in recent games, should probably just redirect to a character list, their respective games, or just TLoZ. Especially since Daruk's entire race, Goron, already redirects. That said, if we do it for Daruk, we should do it for Mipha, Revali, etc. Kalethan (talk) 21:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Kalethan Revali was also nominated for afd. If you feel Mipha isn't notable, then you're welcome to nominate it for yourself. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 13:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
