[edit] Shadow (Final Fantasy VI)

Delete. Only ever appeared in one game. A Link to the Past (talk) 23:33, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep:So? All of the other Final Fantasy characters have articles, and there's too much information to include in the main Final Fantasy VI article. There is nothing wrong with making separate articles for the main characters. Articles for NPCs are another issue however. PiccoloNamek 00:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Factually accurate, verifiable and notable. --Oldak Quill 01:04, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (or merge to Characters in Final Fantasy VI) per WP:FICT. Kirill Lokshin 01:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Oldak. Jtmichcock 01:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Quill --Ryan Delaney ^talk 01:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into a list of FFVI characters. It seems like this article is one half description of the character and one half specific game info (how to save or abandon Shadow, etc.) This could be condensed down into a list entry of one or two paragraphs without great difficulty or loss of information. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 01:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - This issue came up during the vote for speedy deletion. Just because a character is in one game, does not mean they are not significant enough to have their own article. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 04:04, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, silly fancruft. Martg76 07:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - The article is factual and provides the reader with lots of information. Your argument for him only "appearing in one game" does not stand up to the fact that there are plenty of articles on wikipedia about characters that appear in one film or music artists that make one album. He has cult status.
• Merge into Characters of Final Fantasy VI. BrianSmithson 17:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Per Ryan. Full-fledged articles work better here than a list would. --Kizor 10:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong merge definitely worth keeping as PART of an article --TimPope 10:13, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Notable Character from a Notable game. Verifiable. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 14:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to Merge into Characters of Final Fantasy VI and Redirect. Seancdaug has done some great work with this article and has proved, against my expectations, that this would work as a list. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 21:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable major character in a major game. Too big to merge anywhere. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: Very notable character in FF6. Decisions regarding him affect the game's ending. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:54, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Along with all other main FF6 characters. PS. LttP, you didn't use the AFD tag properly. --HeroicJay 19:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into List of Final Fantasy VI characters – Seancdaug 01:46, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
