The result was No consensus --JForget 23:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

After reviewing once more the article and the discussion - the result is redirect to [Resident Evil]] although someone can redirect somewhere else if needed.

Looking at WP:FICTION - The article is kept if the subject has received substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources and this coverage is explicitly referenced in the deletion discussion or is used to add real-world content to the article. Articles about fictional topics that are notable should be given time to develop. The main problem is that it has no reliable sources, virtually unsourced. Merging any content to related articles can be made if needed. --JForget 03:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, well presented article concerning a notable location in a major game series. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 21:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Needs references, otherwise is well-written and presented. Images are up to scratch with necessary copyright info and states why it usable. The number of out-of-universe appearances in other media: games, books, movies, etc represent that it is a notable subject with broad appreciation across a number of mediums and that users would be interested in reading more about the setting of the games. The only problem I see here is a lack of citation, which can be remedied by a single user in possession of the games and the time to add the citations.

• Delete Notnotable outside the franchise, besides this being a plot rehash from the games. DurinsBane87 (talk) 06:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable in the real world, no secondary sources to establish notability as required by Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). The article is primarily a rehash of the plot of the games, which should be left to the game articles. Pagrashtak 17:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - Does not follow our WP:WAF guidelines. Unlikely to have any independent, reliable coverage (WP:N). Entirely unreferenced (WP:V). Large chunks of WP:OR. I can't see a workable article being made on this subject. Marasmusine (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - It's a major setting in the video game series, and the film series aswell Empty2005 (talk) 11:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
