[edit] Cryptosporidium (Destroy All Humans!)

Cryptosporidium (Destroy All Humans!) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a repetition of the plot section of the Destroy all Humans articles in an in-universe way. As such, it is trivia and duplication, so it should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to Destroy_All_Humans!#Characters. If the Destroy All Humans! article gets too long, that section can be spun out into a separate article.--Fabrictramp (talk) 00:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge to main series page, per Fabrictramp. Character shows little notable outside of the series (the series itself not a significant video game series) Quick google check shows no significant sources about the character specifically. --MASEM 01:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep there are already 2 relevant very short paragraphs in the main article. The question is whether there is sufficient relevant information for one on the main characters who define the story, and I think there is. DGG (talk) 02:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge per Fabrictramp. No real notability outside of the series itself. Eusebeus (talk) 04:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge per Fabrictramp, or delete. Insufficient coverage for an article of its own. Percy Snoodle (talk) 07:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge per above comments Jasynnash2 (talk) 10:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep has nobility. Electrical Experiment 20:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per notability and verifiability; main character is mainstream franchise. Recognizable through marketing alone. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 20:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

That means nothing; references, on the other hand... Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

...can be easily found (Chriss Morell, "Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon: Crypto is back and armed with enough alien firepower to eradicate mankind as we know it," GamePro 235 (April 2008): 32-33. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:41, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. This character has a long enough history to have notability in his own right. Axl (talk) 10:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge - no reliable verifiable secondary sources to assert notability; ergo, merge per above into Destroy All Humans!#Characters. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 15:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge, per above. You can claim it's notable all you want, but notability needs to be demonstrated through reliable third party sources. Right now, that is not the case. -LtNOWIS (talk) 09:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. if the DAH article gets too long you can branch it out later. Ironholds (talk) 01:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge: when you get down to a concise overview of the character, this will fit nicely into the DAH article. Not notable enough to stand up by itself. Randomran (talk) 18:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Axl or Merge, for this would fit in nicely in the DAH! Article. --SWJS (talk) 04:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
