[edit] Izlude Tingel

Not even the main character, Ramza, has his own page. In adition, it's horridly written, with no sources, and some obvious POV. Probably falls into cruft. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 16:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• I would argue that this page needs to be heavily edited but not deleted. I see no problem with a minor character having his own page but much of the material in the article is either made up (based on a complete lack of corraborating information in the game) or the product of what could be termed 'fanboy speculation' rather than serious though. I refer to the 'Virgo stone' idea as an example. The person holding the stone thought it reacted to Alma and it later reacted to her when Izlude was long dead. Since getting the 'right body' was of the utmost importance, if there was any chance that it was reacting to Izlude, Vormav wouldn't have killed him. Anon

• Somebody posted a link to this article on the FFT board on GameFAQs [1] and some people were annoyed that this relatively minor character got a page with a lot of non-encyclopedic stuff. --Raijinili 21:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

• I don't think this is so much a good argument for deletion of Izlude Tingel's entry as it is a good argument for new articles about more major characters and other minor characters. It seems like a good enough article to me, and that there aren't equivalent articles about Delita, Ramza, Balbanes, and Dycedarg's older brother. --Deltopia 01:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• I don't see why the above two entries had to be removed. Your link doesn't even work. --Raijinili 17:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• What I find pitiful about these arguments is that you guys are acting as if this site should supply information to your own personal interests and not what others would take interest in. Keep in mind this site does not belong to you. It a free place for "any type of information" as long as it is not harmful, which in this case, it is not. Your arguments are clearly personal attacks quote "Not even the main character" "some people were annoyed that this relatively minor character got a page" and have no grounds for the deletion of this article. I approve of the written article on Izlude Tingel and find it to be very helpful and interesting based on the theories that were posted. I suggest to the wiki crew that this article be left alone. Remember, not a lot of people like the current president of the USA (excluding me) but that doesn't mean you should tear his pages out of the newer encyclopedias. -- gizmo dude 1:59, August 10 2006

• What I find pitiful is that you didn't recognize that I didn't give an opinion on the matter. Is the phrase "relatively minor character" wrong? --Raijinili 07:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Why take it down? It is 100% on topic and delivers. --Pellion 8:39, 15 August 2006

• Delete per WP:FICT, which states, "Major and notable minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be covered within the article on that work of fiction." --Satori Son 19:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:FICT and above. Daniel.Bryant 04:33, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
