Kyon

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

The only source in the article is an interview with the book's author, which is an invalid primary source. I couldn't find reliable sources to get this article past any of our notability guidelines. The article lacks a "reception" section, so it doesn't even explain why it's notable in the real world. Delete or merge to a list. Antigng (talk) 06:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I find it a bit odd and surprising that a user with no previous edit history has managed to get the AfD process down and nominate this article for deletion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:21, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Makes me wonder why he didn't do so earlier, given how active he has been on AfDs. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:22, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Haruhi Suzumiya characters, I have been unable to find anything useful and seeing that it is all un-sourced information in the article for the most part, I feel the character summary on the characters list article is adequate. I would however, oppose the deletion of Haruhi or Yuki for the time being as they are better sourced and have more potential. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:25, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm witholding !voting for now, but could someone check Japanese sources, interviews, and the like? It's entirely possible that there could be coverage out there, particularly in Japanese. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:22, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick look but didn't see anything at first glance. If you can find some reviews of the series and they mention Kyon and what is unique about this character ect... that counts as outside third party reliable feedback. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 20:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to List of Haruhi Suzumiya characters. As much as I feel he 'deserves' one, the evidence just doesn't support him having his own article. He doesn't even have his own article in the Japanese Wikipedia, where he is presumably more notable. Bensci54 (talk) 05:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
redirect I deliberately waited to see what happened as it struck me that this could be notable, however notability is decided by sources and reception and we don't have any here. Perhaps one for the future burn at the moment this page does not satisfy the criteria based on its current state. SephyTheThird (talk)

Redirect: This page since it has had no significant edits in a few years which leaves me to believe that no one is interested in working on it, leaving it to suffer from its entirety being plot summary with only one reference. Be it notable or not, for this reason I'd have to say redirect to the parent list. —KirtZ^Message 20:27, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment I don't understand why this has been extended again when there is a clear consensus to redirect (which essentially is the same as merge). Surely this is a clear case of snow?SephyTheThird (talk) 12:16, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SephyTheThird: I found out the issue, this has been relisted twice by a non admin. On top of that being relisted by the person nominating this for deletion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:18, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Haruhi Suzumiya characters. It's not clear that this character has sufficient independent notability (or sourcing) to justify a self-standing article. --DAJF (talk) 15:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
