List of Saints Row characters

Fancruft, does not use any reliable sources. CR4ZE (talk) 09:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and this is different from any of the other "list of characters" pages? LiteralKa (talk) 02:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to a series character list. Far too much detail and coverage of minor characters, while on the other hand, we know Saints Row 3 will reuse some of the same, so it would be better as a series list. --MASEM (t) 12:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Plot information belongs in the plot summary of the game's article. Insufficient out-of-universe context to justify a separate article (WP:WAF) Marasmusine (talk) 10:05, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect to Saints Row (series) until someone finds sources. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 14:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - this is a clear WP:WAF violation and unnecessary plot expansion. Few to none of these characters are notable and any that are can be covered elsewhere. --Teancum (talk) 20:54, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - seriously a WP:WAF violation and also violates WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:N. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Saints Row (series) per nom. We have many other lists, so in theory this one could work, and someone is bound to recreate it anyway. Harry Blue5 (talk) 11:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: there are sources that mention the concept, but nothing substantial. The most substantial coverage is about the game's character customization capabilities, which is worth mentioning in the main series article. A few of these characters can be mentioned there once there are sources. No problem splitting an individual character back out or even a few of them once there are sources. Probably never all of them in micro detail. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:53, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:FANCRUFT, WP:PLOT, WP:FICTION requires same (real-world perspective) notability treatment -- no RS thus GNG not satisfied. Same as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Saints Row 2 characters. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
