Persistent vandalism from several Indonesian IP addresses, no clarified source material, page neglect, and most of the information could have served a better purpose on the main Wangan Midnight page. FlynnR13 (talk) 23:15, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete, and integrate into main Wangan Midnight page~~ - Abundance of unsourced/dubiously-sourced content. Furthermore, the article is written in a non-encyclopedic style (WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:NOTPLOT). User:FlynnR13 brings up a good point - a short character list, focusing on just the main series characters with short descriptions, would be adequate, and could be kept on the main Wangan Midnight page. Such a section already exists on the main page and could edited to improve its quality. It is worth noting that precedent for deletion exists, with the similar case of WP:AFD/List_of_Initial_D_Characters. --2DKomplex (talk) 12:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Not clear if the second participant is advocating delete or merge (merge and delete isn't a good option see WP:MAD)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to being un-sourced and being mostly plot. Normally I'd go for merging, but I don't think it's a good idea in this case. Since the content isn't sourced. Someone can easily recreate what's worth including in the main article once sources appear if they do without all the plot stuff anyway. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:26, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as the article is unsourced, it fails WP:LISTN. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In light of the comments above, I withdraw my proposal to merge the article in question with its main page, and we should simply delete the article instead. Given the article's issues with unsourced content, poor style and fancruft, merger is inappropriate. --2DKomplex (talk) 14:10, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
