Glyde

This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 21:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to an appropriate location per my vote in Reaverbot. JuJube (talk) 08:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above. Additionally Comment: this is silly. You're way too obviously using the process in place of a merge discussion.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If the shoe fits... It beats the hell out of doing thirty merges in a week and getting dragged back to ArbCom AGAIN for it. Nifboy (talk) 23:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge making if necessary a suitable page for the purpose & merging the other in. This did not need deletion. To bring articles here to force a merge is abusing our delteion policy--the place to propose and discuss it is on an article talk page. I suggest speedy close for this and the similar nominations.

Merge/redirect as appropriate. I too would prefer to see more effort to resolve the many spinouts just like this editorially WP:before resorting to AfD. Holding the Sword of Damocles over them to force action assumes bad faith. Bring them here if {{merge}} fails to reach consensus. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Mega Man Legends series — I disagree with merging. Where are the sources? Merging would only introduce unreferenced original research into another article. Simply put, merging, while a viable alternative to deletion, it not an excuse to keep unreferenced/unencyclopedic/original-research/etc. material.

such material can be referenced from the work itself. The description of the character seems obvious summary from that. DGG (talk) 17:25, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
