While there are mentions of this character, this Five Night at Freddy's character lacks real world notability. This would belong at a Wikia but doesn't meet our criteria for an independent article. Attempts to redirect appropriately have repeatedly been reverted. Barkeep49 (talk) 18:31, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and protect. Don't see much else to do here. Invalid ^OS _talk 01:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per nom. No evidence that the character is independently notable from the games themselves. DocFreeman24 (talk) 03:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Five Nights at Freddy's#Characters. Not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have a page for Monika from DDLC. How exactly is she more notable than Freddy Fazbear? In addition, we have articles for various Mario enemies, such as Hammer Bro and Chain Chomp. Again, how exactly do they warrant articles on Wikipedia, but Freddy doesn't? Freddy is the namesake character in a popular series of games, I'd say that was more notable than the main antagonist of one visual novel that was popular for a brief amount of time.

Redirect to Five Nights at Freddy's#Characters, it's frustrating, because this character almost certainly has had the cultural impact to deserve an article, but the media is woefully lacking in its coverage of things seen as "for kids", and as a result I could not find any SIGCOV of this character specifically that wasn't in-universe information, meaning he fails WP:GNG.

- Nothing "deserves" an article. The character has made no cultural impact outside appearing in a series of games that is waning in popularity. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 23:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
