[edit] Yu-Gi-Oh! GX minor characters

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; listcruft/gamecruft and unencyclopedic. This article is unsourced and full of original research . The list is also rendundant, as there is already a category for Yu-Gi-Oh! characters hoopydink^{Conas tá tú?} 17:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is a spinoff, therefore has its own sections. Character pages, etc. already exist on Wikipedia, and plot summaries detailing each minor character are written based on what has occured throughout the series. Links to appropriate pages in regards to trivia are made, and confirmation by outside sources is unnecesary as such references are made within the episodes themselves (such as Kabukid announcing Shizuka Gozen's name in full, despite her card not having that proper title). Calling the information redundant does not make any sense at all, as the minor character page for the regular Yu-Gi-Oh! series contains no indications whatsoever of the characters appearing in GX; there is no connection between the character groups at all. Furthermore, the characters listed in this article do not have their own seperate articles; they are merely minor, which is the entire point of this article being here in the first place. There is absolutely no overlap with any other articles, and information on these characters is listed nowhere else. Flagging this article for deletion is highly unnecesary when every other page follows the same format. 14 July 2006. -Benten

• Keep, list passes WP:FICT requirements on the listing of minor characters. This article also does not meet any of the 11 classifications for "indiscriminate information" listed in WP:NOT and there is also no redundancy with Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! GX characters as none of these characters have, and probably should not have, standalone articles. The only thing that is significant problem with this article is that it needs better sourcing. --TheFarix (Talk) 14:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Pages like these exist so that zealous fans don't give minor characters their own pages. Smerdis of Tlön 14:54, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
