Minor WP:PLOT element that completely fails WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. Definition of fancruft. Deproded by User:Andrew Davidson with unhelpful technical summary. Andrew, can you tell us why you think this topic deserves its own article? _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:01, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Currently without any sources and no indication that this character is notable independently of the TV series. I wouldn't oppose a redirect to List of Babylon 5 characters. WJ94 (talk) 15:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Soft delete with a redirect is always preferred, so I support such an outcome. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:13, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a selective merge, per Sgeureka. Some of the entries at List of Babylon 5 characters are pretty long and I don't think we need that much detail. WJ94 (talk) 18:37, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Babylon 5#Regular cast. Redirects are cheap. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Babylon 5 characters because the LoC didn't follow WP:SUMMARY. In it's current article state (WP:NOT#PLOT), there is no reason for a stand-alone character article. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:36, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
