[edit] Umaro

Delete. A character with no personality, and no backstory. A Link to the Past (talk) 23:34, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep:Slightly less notable than the other characters, but still a playable character just the same.
  • Being a PC is not an argument to keep. I would a complete lack of backstory and personality would take precedence over being playable. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Factually accurate, verifiable and notable. --Oldak Quill 01:01, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with a list of FFVI characters. Little backstory, little personality, and one game appearance makes it a perfect list candidate. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 01:07, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If you think it needs more backstory, {{sofixit}}. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 01:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps my reasoning wasn't clear. Umaro has litttle backstory; there's no way to add any to this article without writing fanfiction. I was voting to merge this with a list, because other than some very specific game info this is an unexpandable stub, in addition to the reasoning in WP:CRUFT and WP:FICT. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 01:38, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (or merge to Characters in Final Fantasy VI) per WP:FICT. Kirill Lokshin 01:31, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Oldak. Jtmichcock 01:34, 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 04:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: based on your comment, did you mean to say "merge" or "delete"? -- Kjkolb 08:27, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Looks like he meant "keep" to me. He just used somewhat confusing wording (he's saying that it does NOT mean that he is NOT significant enough. Two negatives = positive.) --HeroicJay 03:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into Characters of Final Fantasy VI. BrianSmithson 16:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. -Sean Curtin 07:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Less notable, but since we don't appear to be getting rid of any other characters we need Umaro. --Kizor 09:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong merge definitely worth keeping as PART of an article --TimPope 10:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable Character from a Notable game. Verifiable. Probabily not as notable as the others, but notable never the less. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 14:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable major character in a major game. Too big to merge anywhere. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:47, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep- Regardless of how playable he is, he is a character of Final Fantasy VI all the same. Unless you want to go and delete the other characters' pages, I say that there is no reason to delete this one. As for the merge argument, I see no point for it. As was previously said, I say that there is too much good info to not have its own page. The information will still exist and it wouldn't make sense for all but one of the game's characters to get their own pages. Plus, this was the first Wikipedia page I created. Sentimental value, ya know.-Platypus Man | Talk 19:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  • 1. Every character is on the AfD.
    2. Sentimental value is not an argument to keep. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
       • I'm sure he's not suggesting it is. I think he is just being upfront and recognizing his own biases. Could be wrong, though. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 22:30, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
         • No, you're right, JiFish. I don't want to see my first page go, but you people obviously don't care about that; you shouldn't. I was just commenting.-Platypus Man | Talk 20:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 06:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if only because the list would be incomplete without him. --HeroicJay 19:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into List of Final Fantasy VI characters – Seancdaug 01:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
