Kamen Rider Nishiki

This element of the Super Robot Wars series doesn't establish independent notability. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, these are just made up of unnecessary plot summary, game guide material, and original research. Relevant AfDs include Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Database (Super Robot Wars), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arado Balanga, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AS Soleares/AS Alegrías, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruach Ganeden and more. All discussions resulted to deletion of the nominated articles. Magioladitis (talk) 23:17, 30 November 2008 (UTC) REWROTE: Fails any notability outside its fictional world. No references, no real world information, not one of the main characters. Not every single character of every film/show/book needs a redirect. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as plausible search term and merge to the main article (or character list) if any verification can be done. No independent notability doesn't mean its not notable at all (it can be notable in the context of the fictional universe). - Mgm|^(talk) 00:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no reliable third-party sources cover this fictional video-game and television series character, even Japanese magazines mostly give passing mentions, like costumed appearances, which are not enough for the coverage required by WP:GNG. An article on this subject cannot exist on its own. The personality descriptions are original research and the background history are over-detailed and in-universe. No out-of-universe angle is offered (or could be found since no third-party reliable sources cover these). Information (appearances and physical appearance) that can be merged into a list are non-descript; they are not unique and do not require author attribution.

Question; There seems some confusion about this article. its about a character in a movie, Kamen Rider Hibiki & The Seven Fighting Demons . By any chance is the tagging becoming so rapid and indiscriminate as to miss the right article? DGG (talk) 06:22, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Answer You are right! I prodded this one for a different reason. My nomination is not correct. I am sorry. Should I withdraw? If this is one of the main characters I think we can redirect it to the movie, of not I insist in deletion but still by nomination as given is wrong. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:38, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had considered redirecting before I posted my opinion above, but after much searching (even in Japanese), there is no significant coverage for him. Hence, delete. If you are still convinced that the character could require deletion, then rewrite the nomination and note why it was rewritten. At this point, it is still early for this AFD and rewriting the nomination allows it to run the proper course. If you are convinced the article should not be deleted, then withdraw the nomination.

OK. I rewrote it. If someone can prove that its one of the main characters I would be ok with a redirect. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Unsourced and only of interest to a small group of people anyway. Ryan4314 (talk) 10:57, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
