[edit] Fanny (Guilty Gear) and Leopaldon and now Kliff Undersn

Leopaldon: Presumably this means something to someone. 500 google hits, mostly about a nn Japanese rock group. Grutness...wha? 04:12, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Fanny (Guilty Gear): not a clue what this is all about. And the google search led me to some very unseemly sites that I won't mention here. Either hard porn or (more likely) something to do with an unnamed video game. Grutness...wha? 04:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment Character from video game series "Guilty Gear". The reference to Dr. Baldhead led to less obscene links. Saint Midge 04:24, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Guilty Gear points 30 other articles about Guilty Gear characters, including "non-playable" ones. I don't like Fanny or the other articles, but we should be consistent and delete/merge all of them or keep them all. --Quarl 05:51, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Bundled AFDs: I've gone ahead and bundled the AFDs for Fanny (Guilty Gear) and Leopaldon -- both are apparently characters from that video game. --Quarl 05:55, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • These articles should be kept if somebody updates them or edits them conform to a higher standard, otherwise they should be deleted in their current state as they are too confusing for someone not aware with the subject matter.Lupinewulf 06:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Found a new article, Kliff Undersn similar to the other two. Lupinewulf 07:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: they're all cut and pasted from Characters in Guilty Gear. However, most other characters from the game seem to have decent sized articles and these were just created, so they might get better eventually. On the other hand, even the longer articles are fancrufty so deleting them wouldn't pain me. - Bobet 13:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete (preferred) or merge all into a single article on characters form the game, but the game itself barely stirs the notability-o-meter. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 17:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I dunno. Four games in the series, plus national tournaments in both the US and Japan? That's gotta count for something. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge these into Characters in Guilty Gear, if there's anything to merge. Definitely redirect, in any case. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Characters in Guilty Gear, as above. I do think, though, that some of the GG characters should have their own articles: Bridget (Guilty Gear), for instance, is notable outside the game, and Ky Kiske is the iconic symbol of the series. But Kliff is a secret character in the later games: there is no way he should get his own article. I can see the argument for minor characters in Pokémon, a game that has become a household word, but not for those in Guilty Gear, which isn't even known among most video gamers.

Comment Of course he isn't very secret, I've never seen a game where he _wasn't_ unlocked. It's like deleting Seung Mina because she hasn't been an "official" character since Soul Edge. However, merging Kliff with Testament (his son, who is a more major character), Fanny with Baldhead, and Leopaldon with That Man (his boss) isn't a bad idea. These pages already exist and are pretty well-developed. -- Narfness 21:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
