Merging for Oppose

[edit]

I think this Character List page shouldn't be merged to Fire Emblem Awakening and should be keeped as a Seperate Page.DigiPen92 (talk) 21:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merging of the Fire Emblem character articles

[edit]

Should the list of character articles be kept as redirects or reverted and expanded into actual articles? Right now the articles seem to have no third party sources for them and contain a decent amount of trivia in them, however there doesn't seem to be anything that prevents the character articles from being expanded or trimmed down so they are more inline with policy.

Without any secondary reliable sourcing, or claims that such sourcing exists, it doesn't appear that notability is established. Notability really isn't a policy that can be "improved" by expanding or trimming the article. For that matter, WP:V can't really be ignored either. -- ferret (talk) 17:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How is a complete lack of third party sources not a preventing factor for you? Sergecross73 msg me 17:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it merged - Since the article's inception in 2013, there have been zero third party sources ever present in the article, or provided in any of the talk page discussions. The article was tagged for needing sources and a rewrite since late 2013/early 2014. This was never addressed. The discussion directly above, in early 2014, had a consensus to merge. In 2015, I redirected the page, and the parent article, Fire Emblem Awakening, was made into a GA, showing that the characters could be covered just fine there. It's been a redirect since. The article is not necessary, nor does it contain the required sourcing. Sergecross73 msg me 17:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    What kind of sourcing would an article like this need to be "good enough" for an independent article or even perhaps an article that summarized the main characters in the Fire Emblem series? Maybe list of notable Fire Emblem characters would work? Also the parent article while fairly good doesn't have enough information that is covered here to be useful to people wanting to find out information about characters in the game beyond the cursory explanation given in the "Good Article".
