[edit] Brodi Ford
Non-notable fictional character. Article contains a character history, statistics, and in-game unlocks without real-world context or significance, which fails WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:NOT#GUIDE. No substantial coverage in secondary sources to indicate notability per WP:FICT. "'Brodi Ford' -wikipedia" on Google returns under 100 hits, from non-reliable fansites and forums and game strategy sites. Without reliable secondary sources independent of the subject to establish notability, it's impossible to rewrite or cleanup the article in such way that it doesn't fail WP:FICT and/or some clause of WP:NOT.

- Delete per nom. Ditto for all other related nominations. --Blanchardb 11:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as per Meta:Wiki is not paper. Specifically, "There is no reason why there shouldn't be a page for every Simpsons character, and even a table listing every episode, all neatly cross-linked and introduced by a shorter central page. Every episode name in the list could link to a separate page for each of those episodes, with links to reviews and trivia. Each of the 100+ poker games can have its own page with rules, history, and strategy. Jimbo Wales has agreed: Hard disks are cheap." -- Masterzora 20:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- Referring to an essay on Meta which has been basically unchanged in the 5 years it has existed does not somehow override the core policies of Wikipedia, including verifiablity, reliable sourcing, and notablity. In fact, the modern version of your argument is WP:PAPER, which specifically states: This policy is not a free pass for inclusion: Articles still must abide by the appropriate content policies and guidelines, in particular those covered in the five pillars. Please try to be familiar with current policies when participating in AfDs. Doctorfluffy 21:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete as without primary or secondary sources, this game guide cannot be relied upon. --Gavin Collins 10:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: That's right, we must delete this trivial article that's only useful to a few thousand people in order to save electrons. Remember, save those electrons, they're more important than you think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.139.148.100 (talk) 18:18, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
