The result was merge or (only) redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters#Kokoro. I'm redirecting now. It's left to editorial judgment what, if anything, is worthy of merging from the history. Sandstein 22:09, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kokoro (Dead or Alive)[edit]

This video game character has no Wikipedia:Notability,same as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zafina, this one should be deleted or merged as well. There is already a "list of character" article for this game series. And "other game characters also have their own articles" isn't a valid argument for this one to pass the Wikipedia:Notability requirement. Shrine Maiden (talk) 18:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to a list of characters. There are plenty of video game characters with their own articles. Stifle (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just because other stuff exists doesn't mean this should. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't mean it shouldn't either. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 00:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Countering an 'other stuff exists' argument with an other 'other stuff exists' argument doesn't strike me as the best strategy. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 02:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given the sources provided and changes made to the article since nomination, it is good enough. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Jelly Soup, despite her... ahem, assets. JuJube (talk) 23:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters, as it would be a useful redirect. 70.51.11.210 (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wikipedia:Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 11:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters. I hate to use the C-word, but I'm afraid that's what this is. I also don't think there isn't anything worth merging to the list. And no, it's not that WP:IDONTLIKEIT, either. MuZemike (talk) 14:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weather forecast also calls for WP:SNOW. MuZemike (talk) 16:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Jelly Soup. Edward321 (talk) 00:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters as a more appropriate location for this character. If this information is eventually verified by reliable third-party sources that are independent of the game/publisher, then a split might be appropriate. But not yet. Randomran (talk) 15:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As usual, she is indeed covered in reliable third-party sources independent of the game and publisher, such as "Dead or Alive 4 Girls Week #7 (X360): In this GameSpy exclusive, we take a look at some of the game's femme fatales. Today, it's Kokoro," "Dead or Alive 4: The Characters" (notice the second page of this four page article especially), etc. I have naturally begun referencing the article accordingly, but it's apparent that that in these sources enough information exists for someeone to add a reception section. --Happy editing!
