Leorio

This is non-notable TV trivia. It's unencyclopedic.George Pelltier (talk) 06:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1) You have not listed this AfD correctly. 2) Per my removal of your original prod, you are tying to use both WP:JNN and WP:UNENCYC, which, if you will read them, are not valid reasons for article deletion. 3) All that said, I'd support a merge to a character list. 76.116.247.15 (talk) 15:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to address your first point and correctly list this. ~Itzjustdrama ^{C ?} 15:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And per the IP above, a Merge and Redirect is best. I've noticed you nominated the only stub character article. And just a note, but the entire group of character articles are in-universe and should be merged into the main list, which should also find some creation, influences, and reception. ~Itzjustdrama ^{C ?} 15:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Not many fiction characters deserve their own article but usually all fiction characters deserve to be in a character list. --KrebMarkt 17:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Hunter × Hunter characters, per Standard Operating Procedure and all versions of WP:FICT -- preferably as part of a concerted merge of all the series character alticles except those that can demonstrate notability. I suggest tagging the relevant cleanup workgroup for doing the work. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Quasirandom. Edward321 (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and then consider whether to Merge into a suitable article. He's a major character, so mergeing is not necesarily the default position if t he series is notable enough. . Such discussion should be the default way to deal with these, and it does not take AfD. It is not SOP to merge major characters--it is SOP to look for suitable references for articles on them. No statement has been made here about any attempt at all to look for material. DGG (talk) 03:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD. per WP:BEFORE - Neier (talk) 12:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He's a major character in a very successful major series. Keeping should be the default position. Merging would only serve to further decrease the (admittedly low) volume of edits. The main problem here is not notability, but that the US is not one of the two dozen countries the series is licensed in (or was not until very recently) and thus most information available is not in English. -Zyrxil (talk) 15:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A character's role in a series is not used as a bases for article inclusion. Instead, we check to see if the character has received significant coverage by reliable third-party sources. If no such coverage is present, then the character should be merged into a list. --Farix (Talk) 23:15, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a concise character description and voice actor information to List of Hunter × Hunter characters and redirect the rest of the article. The character shows no independent notability and the article itself is a WP:NOT#PLOT violation. --Farix (Talk) 23:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment WP:NOT#PLOT is redirected to WP:PLOT so people checking that one won't get confused. --KrebMarkt 05:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons Zyrxil mentioned. Dream Focus 12:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into the character list. The existance of significant real-world information and thus the article potential for this character is unclear, so he should not be spun out unless notability is established. – sgeureka ^t•c
Keep per DGG. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 04:14, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
