Fails WP:NNAME with only one valid entry, Sonic the Hedgehog. "Sonic Man" sounds more like an adjective rather than a name. This is part of a series of questionable given name pages created by Kaithehedgefox, including Wario (given name) and Waluigi (given name). -- Tavix (talk) 15:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. "Sonic Man" is not mentioned in List of Mega Man characters, and its first word sounds like an adjective rather than a name. Without that entry, there is only one character with this name. This means that the name does not deserve its own article; WP:APONOTE states that for a name to be notable, there must be at least two notable people with that name. – Fayenatic London 19:00, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We don't create name articles if there are no notable people with the name. A list of two fictional video game characters isn't enough. And it wouldn't be enough even if the racehorse Sonic Lady were added, or any of the artists for whom this is a surname-looking nickname (like Chakra Sonic or Rob Sonic). – Uanfala 11:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per above. There's no sign it's a notable given name, it's merely the name of a single video game character Power~enwiki (talk) 02:22, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
