[edit] Max Payne (character)

Max Payne (character) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete Not a notable subject. Article seems to be a mere plot summary instead of an out-of-universe encyclopedic entry. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 06:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Appears to be a word-for-word copy of the plot sections of the 2 games, so everything in this article is already covered in the articles on the two games in the series. TJ Spyke 09:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete due to lack of real world information and the article being simply a retelling of the plot (which is covered in the game articles), and concerns I wrote on the article talk page months ago. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 13:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. He's the main character in the games so its not as if those articles lack information on him. Hard to see how this would ever be more than duplicative of the other articles. Xymmax (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as article fails WP:V, WP:NOT#PLOT, and WP:WAF.If reliable secondary sources can be found, it might still be worth deleting this article and starting from scratch. --Gavin Collins (talk) 16:07, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the game he came from. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 21:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable outside the two games that bear his name. The article consists of little more than giant plot summaries of those two games, so there is little to no content worth merging into the game articles. I don't think a redirect is necessary, it's unlikely anyone will search with (character) and Max Payne will take them to the game. Bleeding Blue 23:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete just use the game's article; where is the separate notability for the char.? JJL (talk) 22:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The game article has more than enough necessary information, especially given as the character appears in no other media and is the focus of the game. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 05:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
