[edit] Tomizo Todayama

Tomizo Todayama (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This is an article about a character from a Japanese tv show. This character, under a different name, already has an article under a name that is much more likely to be searched-for. Thusly, this article should go. The information within this article is repeated in the actual article, Kamen Rider Todoroki. Howa0082 (talk) 17:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge to Kamen Rider Todoroki the information does not match up so it should be confirmed if any content is worth merging. Since it is reasonable that someone would search with "Tomizo Todayama", there is no reason to delete the page when it can instead be a redirect. I don't quite see the reason why this is at AfD. -Verdatum (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Comment - It's actually not reasonable at all. The character's non-Todoroki name is mentioned perhaps once in the entire series. If someone wants to know about Todoroki, they're not going to go looking for his lesser-known human name, since the Torodoki identity isn't an alternate identity like Superman, it's just who he is; it's a new name he takes up to symbolize his heroness. He never again goes by Todoyama. Which is why I don't feel this article should exist; if you know Todoroki's human name, it's almost impossible to not know who he is as a Kamen Rider, so why would you search for the lesser-known name?
