Article relies completely on unreliable sources discussing reviews of the related Plants vs. Zombies comics, and digging deeper for WP:BEFORE there doesn't seem to be any material here. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt by tagging it for notability and encouraging the lead editor, but the response was to just remove the tag and add wikilinks. I feel Crazy Dave may also be in the same boat but honestly wasn't sure how well a dual nomination would have gone as they tend to trainwreck. Kung Fu Man (talk) 19:11, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Restore Redirect. There are nothing to merge valuable stuff since it relies mostly on unreliable sources. Really doubt that a Plants vs Zombies character can be notable. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 23:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Make it a Redirect or Delete it entirely. There is no reason for Patrice Blazing to have its own article. Crazy Dave is somewhat reasonable for an article, even if the sourcing mostly from reviews but at least it comes from reliable sources. Patrice Blazing is nonsensical.

Crazy Dave isn't notable either. It has zero WP:SIGCOV. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 08:53, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Plants vs. Zombies (comic)#Characters, although their being integrated into the games may merit a character section in the series article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Plants vs. Zombies (comic)#Characters per ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ - That article is not in the best shape itself, but as it actually has gotten reviews and awards nominations, it actually passes the WP:GNG. The same cannot be said for this character, though. Rorshacma (talk) 15:19, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The person who made the article just redirected it, making this discussion moot. QuicoleJR (talk) 16:11, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion is not moot, as far as I know, a page creator can only voluntarily delete the article if it had few or no edits besides theirs. The article also had edits from Kung Fu Man. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:42, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The creator didn't even register their support for redirection in the AfD page. Redirecting even before it was closed would likely be out of process. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Kung Fu Man did that to nominate the page for deletion after deleting half the sourcing; that is not the same thing. Correct protocol would be for this nomination to be withdrawn in lieu of the redirecting from the article creator, me. DNAVIRAL (talk) 22:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that isn't the right approach to this, as it'd remove the record of this discussion and the final results and imply what was there was fine. Honestly never had that happen during a AfD...--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, DNAVIRAL was just checkuser blocked, so you can disregard them moving forward. Sergecross73 msg me 00:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
