[edit] Dynasmon
With 165 google hits [1], are all of the characters within the fictional world of Digimon inherently notable and encyclopedic? How is such notability being determined? --GRider\talk 19:04, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Keep most (all?) of the other digimon seem to have articles, so there's clearly some precendent for this. Also, I suspect that if deleted, it'll be back again before very long at all, as 8 different articles link to it, besides the VfDs. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:16, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you Starblind for your comments. Please help me understand something; If I were to go and create 250 articles about every random minor character that ever appeared in an episode of the American television sitcom Seinfeld, would that somehow set a precedent that all of those articles should exist on Wikipedia? --GRider\talk 00:04, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps not if you did it by yourself, but I'm not entirely convinced that all 182 Digimon articles are by the same person. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:40, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)

- Keep and delist. The prescription in Wikipedia:Deletion policy for "Such a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article", if that is what is believed, is to "Merge the useful content into a more comprehensive article and redirect", neither of which requires listing here. --iMb~Mw 23:16, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- delist good thinking Mw. Failing that, merge or keep. Kappa 23:45, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable - 165 hits isnt all that great, digicruft. Megan1967 07:00, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect to a list of digimon characters. DaveTheRed 07:18, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: He is a major character in the series.
