List of Art of Fighting characters[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another "list of [X] characters". Relies on one source, and a quick search on the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine brings up very little. It just retells the plot from the characters' point-of-view, without any creation, development and reception for the characters. Great for a gaming wiki. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 09:37, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The one "source" is actually the game itself. JOE BRO 64 11:54, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I already tried searching reception once but the problem with the Art of Fighting characters is that in the entire trilogy the Sakazaki children, Robert Garcia and King appear more than once. The only thing I could find about Takuma Sakazaki is a poll in Den of Geek since he doesn't appear much in The King of Fighters games too.Tintor2 (talk) 13:21, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to Art of Fighting#Characters which appears to be a bare listing of these characters. Trimming appropriately is always a good idea, but ultimately an editorial decision. Per WP:ATD-M, there is no need, and hence no policy-based reason, to delete this content. Jclemens (talk) 22:08, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
