[edit] Carlos Olivera

Carlos Olivera (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Article should be deleted as it pertains to a non-notable subject (see WP:N). The content is written in an exclusively in-universe perspective, and does not contain any real-world information (see WP:WAF). Additionally, the article does not contain any reliable third party sources to verify its content (see WP:A).  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  16:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment The subject itself isn't really notable. The article on IMDB specifically states that it's user contributed and not vetted by IMDB staff. There's a small article on a Canadian (international claim) movie website here that references him in the title. There's also (disturbingly) a cosplay outfit of the character here (blame Google, not me). My concern is that with this article being linked from several related lists such as Characters in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Characters in the Resident Evil films that this may just be the tip of the iceberg in a far greater Characters In... merge, as any content mergeback is likely to be complicated to avoid duplication. Have a look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Carlos_Olivera to see what I mean. Gazimoff (talk) 01:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment/Suggestion: Take the character section from the RE3 character's page, combine it with this one, rewrite the article in a far less in-universe tone, sprinkle in some design notes and comments if possible, and voila. You get an article that isn't rubbish, and the character list pages get shrunk a little. Wishful thinking but a delete seems iffy and a merge would just bloat a page.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - No assertion of notability whatsoever. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Carlos Oliveira For whatever reason the content from the Resident Evil movies character list seems to have been sent here instead of being merged into the existing article on the videogame character, squandering the opportunity to make a half-decent character article. A search for the film character's name (minus the i) + interview immediately spat out two interviews on IGN with the actor, real world information exists. Someoneanother 20:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
• merge per Someone another. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:50, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - when both Carlos Oliveira and Oded Fehr exists this page is unnecessary .this page may confuse the users . if difficult to reach a consensus then simply redirect Pearll's sun (talk) 13:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Blast Ulna (talk) 13:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
