The result was merge summarized content into Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series and delete the rest. These articles fail many of the criteria at WP:FICT, and Wikipedia is not a guide to all things Zelda (or any other game or fictional work). I've tried to incorporate a representative piece of each article into the more general Enemies one; editors who would like access to the deleted material for the purpose of doing a more extensive rewrite may contact me on my talk page. As a side note, the material seems to have been preserved at http://egamia.com/wiki/ . Tijuana Brass (talk) 07:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moblin

Moblin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The Moblin is a recurring enemy from the Legend of Zelda series, and is already mentioned in the article on enemies from the Zelda series. The Moblin character, however, does not have enough notability and therefore sourcing, to warrant a whole article dedicated to it. As of now, it's just an in-universe repetition of the character and gameplay sections of various Zelda articles. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep It is a large well written article, but for a possibly minor character in the series. Is it a case we have one page for each character. This set a precedence, as some games in the future may have 20k or 200k major and minor characters. Do we have a page for each one. I don't think so. scope_creep (talk) 16:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. It is a bit of fancruft, but the charecter is a moderately notable charecter in the Zelda series. Also, i agree with the above that there should just be a page for enemies in the Zelda series instead of one for each and every one of them. Doc Strange (talk) 16:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; full of OR, speculation; only one notable source. There are probably a few bits that can be merged into Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series, but it's mostly tat. Haipa Doragon (talk) 18:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete; it's not a character except for those mentioned at the top (and even then, GM is the only meaningful char, and is already covered on the Oracle characters page). Everything else is gameguide/OR, or irrelevancies (like Zola>Zora). This information badly needs to be trimmed (probably to about a paragraph or two), and set on either the races or enemies page (probably races, since they do show sentience and society).Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 19:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: No evidence has been provided that it is notable beyond its own universe. Ashnard Talk Contribs 19:50, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge - I think this would be acceptable if it was trimmed down a paragraph and merged into the enemies section. In fact I feel this should be done to all entire articles devoted to a single enemy for this series. - .:Alex:. 20:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not worth a merge. Fails notability for fiction. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou, it's always good when folks' work can be saved for another site.Someone another (talk) 14:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Merge - As much as I like fighting Moblins, I think they need to be Merged into the enemies page. The info here is valuable though, so I think deleting it entirely would be a mistake. Also, I just wanted to state that this article talks about Bokoblins, Miniblins, and other common enemies, so it's not just about one enemy but a few others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.190.217.50 (talk) 06:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
