The result was redirect to List of Babylon 5 characters. Clear consensus to get rid of this article but not whether a deletion is the best way to go about this, nor is it clear whether the content could be reused. Going for a redirect to satisfy both the desire to remove the article and the possibility that the content could be reused elsewhere.

It really pains me to go after content from my favorite series, but despite being a B5 fanboy... this fails WP:GNG/WP:FICTION by a long shot. But in fact the readers will be better served not seeing this poor entry here, when they can see a much better one at https://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Ulkesh anyway.

  • Delete or Redirect to List of Babylon 5 characters as non-notable fancruft.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:36, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Babylon 5 characters, as the topic is not notable, yet the content can be placed into the list similarly to the situation with Valen.

  • Delete - Non-notable topic. TTN (talk) 17:19, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you look at the List of Babylon 5 characters and see whether you think moving any content would be suitable? There are entries on the list that also do not meet the notability guidelines to be a standalone article, yet information is still present under the respective entries. I'm not familiar with the series myself, but I feel like moving information on this topic to a general list of characters would probably be the best course of action. Unless of course it turns out that most of the entries aren't notable, then the list itself could possibly go through AfD. I don't have an opinion on that matter as of now.
