No out-of-universe notability, no sources whatsoever. Does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (films). Crusio (talk) 14:41, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He is a major character in the series storyline.Fractyl (talk) 17:46, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being "major" or "important" is not synonymous with "notable". Please base your keep !vote on arguments based in policy. --Crusio (talk) 17:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. *Weak Delete. He is undoubtedly an important character in the series. I scoured Google which has oodles of hits to find anything that could support notability to no avail. What I'm thinking is that maybe it might be possible to merge some of these characters in to one article that might meet WP:GNG. Maybe summarise each character in Digimon. I tried to find anything to support a "Keep" and if you give me a good reference I gladly will. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 00:51, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters. The subject does not have any independent notability, but that doesn't prevent it from being included as part of a larger list of characters. —Farix (t | c) 02:59, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Farix and WP:ATD. The nomination is unnecessary, since non-notable fictional elements can always be upmerged, there is no policy-based reason for deletion. Jclemens (talk) 04:18, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're certainly right in that. However, note that we have (up till now) one "keep" !vote. And check the article history and see how many editors are working on it. If I were to upmerge this article, that would almost certainly result in an editwar and much wikidrama. Hence the nom, an AfD decision would simplify things. I can live with a "merge" decision, obviously. --Crusio (talk) 05:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters as per Farix's recommendation. [Have changed from "weak delete" above to "merge/redirect"]. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 10:57, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have been quite curious as to why there have not been vast amounts of articles created for the Digimon Xros Wars characters, since the other seasons have individual ones for their major characters. I suppose the character list already makes up for it. Just a thought. Evilgidgit (talk) 22:31, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters: The fictional character does not meet the general notability guideline and an article about it would only be a plot-only description of a fictional work. As only one sentence from the article is referenced with a primary source, I do not think that a merge is warranted, but a redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters is an acceptable outcome given the prominence of the character in that series and also because it's a plausible search term.

Redirect to List of Digimon Xros Wars characters: At the present moment in time, the character is not notable enough to deserve its own page. Even though he is a major antagonist in the series, any notable information can simply be placed in the List of Digimon Xros Wars article. Katanin (talk) 01:15, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect in the interest of building a consensus. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
