[edit] Dodoria

Dodoria (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)�-- (View AfD)

Dodoria is a minor character, he should be merged into list of other aliens in Dragon Ball. -- User:General Cui 00:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

No he's not. First you vandalize the article because you don't like the character, and then when your vandalism is reverted, you put the article up for deletion? You have NO basis for doing this, and are making a nomination based on personal feelings rather than because it's appropriate. If Dodoria is a minor character, then so is Zarbon. Both only appear in a few (read: many) episodes, after all, as well as an hour long TV special that reveals a lot of background information about the Saiyajin, and Goku's father. And it's not like Dodoria had a major role in any of tha--Oh wait! He DID.
Nomination is invalid. Don't use your dislike of characters to try to change Wikipedia for the worse.

1.I dont dislike him. 2.He does not deserve an entire page, all of this can be easily covered in other articles. 3.I dont see how he played a big role? Please enlighten me. -- User:General Cui 03:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete minor character. 24.3.28.181 03:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
    • This anonymous user is probably User:General Cui. See [1] [2]. (An admin can confirm easily enough.) As anon users are not given as much weight (see WP:AFD), this is likely moot, but may demonstrate bad faith on the part of the submitter. JRP 03:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete useless article. Frieza-Bomber 03:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
1. If you don't dislike him, then why did you vandalize the article?
2. Your opinion of what is deserving of having an article is noted, but irrelevant. A lot of things could easily be covered in other articles. The question isn't whether they can, but whether it is appropriate. In this case, the character has enough screen time and material to have an informative article written about them, which would be diminished greatly by deleting the article and putting a short blurb somewhere else.
3. He killed off Burdock's entire team, and nearly killed him as well. He was one of Freeza's two (that's right. Two. Kiwi was an incredibly trivial "character") top henchmen, killed Namekians while gathering the Dragon Balls for Freeza, and was nearly the end of Kuririn and Gohan. He might not be AS significant as someone like Freeza, but he appears in more than a couple episodes like Kiwi.
4. "minor character" as a comment summary isn't sufficient. Provide your reasoning for why Dodoria is minor.
5. Oh, I see. The Dodoria article is useless. It has absolutely no value whatsoever. And all of your vandalism and reverts and adding of pointless text is SO much less useless, right, "Frieza"-Bomber? Describe in what way the Dodoria article is "useless", rather than just trying to stack votes.
  • Why the hell does "General Cui" care. If he doesn't like Dodoria and doesn't believe that he merits attention, then he doesn't have to read about him. Why debate whether or not he deserves a page. Why not just enjoy the fact that someone took the time to put as much information about all of the Dragonball Z characters as they could for the enjoyment of others. Get over it. —the preceding comment is by 69.137.238.215 (talk • contribs) 69.137.238.215: Please sign your posts!.[3] 18 December 2006 (UTC)
