List of Front Mission 2 characters[edit]

List of non-notable characters. Many of the characters are already covered at List of recurring characters in the Front Mission series. The remainder have zero coverage in reliable sources and therefore fail WP:GNG. SnottyWong ^chatter 19:14, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why you only nominated one of the lists. Redirect every single list of Front Mission characters to List of recurring characters in the Front Mission series. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I came across this one on a new page patrol, but didn't realize how many of them there were until I dug a little deeper. Perhaps if this AfD closes as delete or redirect, the rest of them can be nominated together with a link to this AfD. SnottyWong ^converse 00:45, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why stuff like this is taken to AfD. Either discuss it with active editors of the subject, or boldly redirect it yourself. Sure, it can help gather more editors to discuss it, but subjects like this don't need to be deleted, but redirected. The only things that need to be deleted are things that can't be redirected anywhere, or is a redirect being disputed.(idk, disregard my rant. I just felt like I had to get it off my chest.) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:54, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The author of the article seems to have put a decent amount of effort into the creation of these articles. Simply redirecting them would almost certainly result in the original author reverting the redirect, and then the article would end up here anyway.

Would combining all of the data and references in the single game articles to form a separate series list of characters, for single game-only appearances, be sufficient? I was originally planning to do a second series list of characters in addition to the one I had made for recurring characters. Or would it be more beneficial to have a more complete listing of characters, recurring and single game? I had a look at similar video game-related pages and found either the articles listed recurring characters, standalone characters, or both. User talk:LegaiaRules 06:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
