Supporting Banpresto original characters

An unreferenced list with characters from Super Robot Wars. The main article is already deleted and all the other elements of "Banpresto Originals" that were nominated, were all deleted. According to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super Robot Wars F Originals is may be also a speedy delete candidate under G8. Magioladitis (talk) 14:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An informative combination article of the sort that should be strongly encouraged. If similar articles were deleted, then fortunately we don't go by precedent, and we can recreate those also. WEDIDITIBEFORE is not an aguement. We've done many wrong things before. Can be sourced from the primary work. No other reason given for deletion.DGG (talk) 18:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — this is nothing but original research and a textbook example of the C-word. MuZemike (talk) 18:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's trivial cruft at best. RobJ1981 (talk) 02:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Original research can be cut out. The combination: character, nickname, voice actor is easily verifiable and encyclopedic. The same should have been applied to the other combo list. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have to remind you that this is a video game we are talking about but I am also not sure which one! How do we know that this characters "are thew original characters were created by Banpresto"? Any reference for that? Also if you read the list you'll see that these characters are mainly NPCs! -- Magioladitis (talk)

Delete: What we've done before is relevant as our actual practice, which is documented in guidelines such as WP:NOT and WP:N. And our common practice suggests a consensus that articles like this do not belong, because they lack reliable third-party sources, and because they're written entirely from an in-universe perspective beyond what is required for a concise summary of the game's plot. Even on a gut level, a bunch of supporting or minor characters is probably not notable. If we didn't have a notability guideline, it's articles like these that would inspire one.

Delete per Randomran. No reliable sources = no article. Stifle (talk) 00:21, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
