List of Kamen Rider Kiva characters[edit]

Non notable list. Pure listcruft. I know it's a new aticle, but it is non notable, and will probably never be notable. Undeath (talk) 18:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The show itself has a Wikipedia page, and it's a remake of a popular TV series. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 19:09, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Appears to be a valid summary style subpage of its main article Kamen Rider Kiva. It would help if the lead were edited to reflect this, and per WP:SS the list of characters in the main article were trimmed, and this article correctly cited as the main one -- but no doubt the editor got distracted by having the AfD slapped on his work-in-progress 3 minutes after the article was created. In the future, I might suggest to the nominator that it would be more fruitful if you have notability concerns to bring this up in the article, either with tags or on the talk page, and see if they can be addressed before bring it directly to AfD. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The reason I nominated this so quick was it did not fit a speedy. Second, I do not believe it to be a notable list. For one, no sources. Also, most of the characters listed are non notable stock characters. It is almost like creating a list of all the pokemon/digimon/yu gi oh characters, or creating a list about all the characters in a cartoon. Undeath (talk) 21:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The program that this page is related to has only aired two epsidoes. All of the characters here are not stock characters, but are regular characters (everyone on this list has appeared in the show so far, and have appeared in promotional materials for the show). It is currently only a copy of the "characters" section from the primary article, but that will change once more material shows up to be sources and the show progresses.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll withdraw the nomination then. But, if this article goes nowhere, as some lists do, I will re-nominate it in the distant future. As of now, it's just a copy of the main article. Undeath (talk) 22:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not any more. I've removed the content at the main article and placed it in the secondary article. In the near future, I will be adding an abridged section to the main article.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
