The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to List of Kingdom Hearts characters (tentatively). As there is consensus that a merge is necessary but no particular target was specified, if a better target exists, a merge there is fine as well. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, its reception relies mostly on listicles/content farm type articles and doesn't prove standalone notability. This character clearly belongs in a list of characters rather than having his own page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to character list or respective game. Minor character that never received significant coverage, just passing mentions within the context of the respective game's coverage. Sergecross73 msg me 19:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is this really a theme notability or length. Almost every source from Reception's first paragraphs are articles about critics trying to understand who the character in the form features analysis since his most outstanding feature is his role as well as whether or not he is meant to be a reference to Final Fantasy XV. The second paragraph touches another aspect involves his character where most of the focus involves how ridiculously hard is to defeat him. You want more sources or tone it down? The third paragraph is the smallest but it also primarily centers around Yozora's voice. I never used a review article of the game or dlc so I'm confused how it fails notability despite what I commented. When writing this I went for the same style Tifa Lockhart had to avoid losing its GA status. Guess I'll have to abort the DYK nomination too.Tintor2 (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tifa Lockhart is a massively popular main character from one of the most popular video games of all time, and has been aggregating reliable source coverage for the last 25 years. This is, as the article prose you wrote itself states, a minor character from a game from a couple years ago. They are worlds apart in coverage.

Merge Regardless of any future importance for the character, there really isn't enough here to justify a standalone article. --ProtoDrake (talk) 11:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per ProtoDrake. There isn't enough here to prove standalone notability, but it might be suitable for coverage elsewhere. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
