[edit] Alexia Ashford (Veronica)

Alexia Ashford (Veronica) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

In-universe, unreferenced crufty article on a relatively minor character of the Resident Evil universe. Furthermore, this is mostly a duplicate of a page previously contained at Alexia Ashford (Resident Evil) (now a redirect). Since the title of this page is an extremely unlikely redirect (I don't think even a hardcore RE fan would put this in as a search), it should just be deleted.

  • Keep- Alexia is not a small character in the Resident Evil series, she is; a main villian, responsible for the creation of the T-Alexia virus and has a lot of history in the Resident Evil world, as is explained in the article . As too “crufty”, that is your personal opinion. As to the article being a duplicate, how can it be a duplicate when it contains much more information? As for the article never being searched, it is on the 2nd page of search results in google. If it is the article title that bothers you, it can be moved to Alexia Ashford (Resident Evil), as it is not currently in use. Original shteeve (talk) 12:23, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Meaningless. Wikipedia is almost always a top result in Google searches; the fact that it's a second page somewhat makes my case for me. The rest is up for discussion. You don't control whether people think it's meaningful or not. Anyway, that's all I'm gonna say about it. (ec: Alexia Ashford (Resident Evil) is actually in use, as a redirect; check the edit history for the original version that this article rips off of.) JuJube (talk) 12:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- It is a new article and is yet to receive hits, which is why it is on the second page. You also don’t control what people think about a page. Alexia Ashford (Resident Evil) is only in use as a re-direct and information from my page could be moved there. I notice that you also basically removed the article on Alexia that existed there originally, be redirecting it. Do you have a personal vendetta against the character? Original shteeve (talk) 12:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I should also add that it does not matter whether the article is searched for, as there is a main article link on Characters in Resident Evil Code: Veronica for users or fans who want more information than is provided there. The same can be said for other characters on the same page. Original shteeve (talk) 12:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep Bickering aside, i think the article should be kept. I enjoyed reading the extra information. I think its hard to reference a game character as the reference is basically from the game itself, however if it is a problem you could request that it be done, or do it yourself. That way the article would not have to be deleted. As the OP is a new user, perhaps suggestions as to how the article could improved should be given. For example a 'see also' link could be added to the page to give it context. 88.211.120.214 (talk) 13:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC) — 88.211.120.214 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete, no notability established within the article. Any relevant info could be merged to Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Cirt (talk) 15:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Comment - Why has Original shteeve (talk · contribs) given two Keep comments? Cirt (talk) 15:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC).
  • I really cannot see what the problem is, i simply made an article giving more information on an important character in the game as there was not enough information in the section about her on Resident Evil Code: Veronica. You experienced users really need to lay off the new guys or you’re going to discourage people from posting. If you dont agree with it, fine, but dont argue for its deletion just because you dont feel it has "notability". I could find a million articles on here with less "notability" than this one Original shteeve (talk) 17:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no notability asserted outside of universe. Definitely heavy on the cruft too. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Keep. Article has notability, furthermore if it was merged with another page, other users would say that there was too much information for a summary and request that a main article be made. 88.211.120.126 (talk) 18:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Characters in Resident Evil Code: Veronica#Alexia Ashford - First of all, the tone of the article is not even proper for an encyclopedia. Secondly, its mostly in-universe plot summary. And finally, Alexia's role is already perfectly summarized in the mentioned article. Ergo, having a stand-alone article for her is pointless. Jonny2x4 (talk) 04:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I would disagree with a redirect, as "Alexia Ashford (Veronica)" is not a likely search term. JuJube (talk) 06:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep- I believe if many other games, TV shows, and anime have entire articles dedicated to one character, (Such as Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart, Aerith Gainsborough, Vincent Valentine, Sephiroth, or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII)) why can't a major character from Code Veronica get one? I do believe it need to be cleaned up quite a bit. I mean come on, it even is messy in the first line. (Alexia Ashford was the final boss (in fact final 3 bosses!))
