[edit] Gogo (Final Fantasy)

Delete. Only ever appeared in one game and a hidden boss in another, and has little backstory. Most of the article is original research about his identity. A Link to the Past (talk) 23:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• STRONG KEEP:So? All of the other Final Fantasy characters have articles, and there's too much information to include in the main Final Fantasy VI article. There is nothing wrong with making separate articles for the main characters. Articles for NPCs are another issue however. If you ask me, all of these deletion nominations were made in very bad faith.

The original research could be removed. The information about Adlai Stevenson is pretty humorous, though, and it well known among the Final Fantasy VI community.

Being well-known in a community is not an argument to keep an article. There ARE standards on what deserves an article, you fail to realize. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I realize perfectly. And I never stated that the information was the reason to keep the article. What I said was the original research should be removed, but it's still pretty funny.PiccoloNamek 01:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The research is well known, indeed, worth of being kept in the Talk page for anyone who does not really know about FF6 to access quick and easily. -- ReyBrujo 02:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Factually accurate, verifiable and notable. --Oldak Quill 01:03, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with a list of Final Fantasy VI characters. I liked FFVI too, but this article is bloated with nonsense; a theory that Gogo is based on Adlai Stevenson, of all things? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 01:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Oldak. Jtmichcock 01:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (or merge to Characters in Final Fantasy VI) per WP:FICT. Kirill Lokshin 01:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Quill --Ryan Delaney ^talk 01:42, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - This issue came up during the vote for speedy deletion. Just because a character is in one game, does not mean they are not significant enough to have their own article. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 04:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, silly fancruft. Martg76 07:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Characters of Final Fantasy VI. BrianSmithson 17:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Per Ryan. I believe that full-fledged articles work better here than a list would. --Kizor 10:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong merge definitely worth keeping as PART of an article --TimPope 10:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Notable Character from two Notable games. Verifiable. Remove any remianing OR. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 14:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to Merge into Characters of Final Fantasy VI and Redirect. Seancdaug has done some great work with this article and has proved, against my expectations, that this would work as a list. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 21:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable major character in a major game. Too big to merge anywhere. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I can sorta almost see an argument to delete this and Umaro... but even if I thought that, Gogo's appearance in two games makes the article more relevant anyway. --HeroicJay 19:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • True, but I think it's important to note that the only reason Final Fantasy V's Gogo has an article is because the one from FF6 does. Taken as a seperate entity, an optional boss from relatively obscure console role-playing game would have been submitted (and probably passed) AfD ages ago. – Seancdaug 01:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
    • There's also the fact that I voted "Keep" on all the more important characters, and it wouldn't make much sense to delete just those two and keep all the others, IMHO. I'm not entirely opposed to a merge, but we have individual character pages on lots of other one-game-appearance characters, including most recent Final Fantasy characters. --HeroicJay 03:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
