Characters and Story of Dead Rising[edit]

There's been issues before with Dead Rising characters (Frank West for one); people also seem to be inclined to want to include the "psychopaths" in the game (which are nothing more than glorified boss battles, thus amounting to game guide material). This is not to say that list of prime characters in the game isn't inappropriate, but that list is already in the Dead Rising article, and there's no significant WP:SIZE issues with it; additionally plot sections are never split off from the main work. It is recommended this be deleted as it is redundant presently with the main text, and too heavyweight a page title to require a merge/redirect. MASEM 11:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As per Masem. The detailed list of psychopaths is game guide material, which is not appropriate for Wikipedia. The cast list and plot are covered in the main article and do not require further attention in a separate article. Frank west is discussed in the main article and no further information can be added that would warrant a separate article. Hewinsj (talk) 20:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Redundant to the main article. Plots aren't usually spun out from video game articles, and I don't see the need for this one to have been. There are few genuine characters in the game, and they're hardly so deep as to necessitate a separate article. Most are just survivors or psychopaths as laid out here and in the game article. If Frank West ever returns there may be a need for a character article, but that's an 'if and when' discussion. Someone another 13:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
