headshots for each character would be good. 70.51.10.70 14:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Merge proposals

Those characters should be merged into the main list. They're minor characters. KyuuA4 (talk) 09:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

So? Then again, maybe we should just delete all references to minor characters because they are minor and why would anyone care about a minor character? Death to information! Information is EVIL! Long live the pointless Wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.97.110.142 (talk) 06:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

Nearly all of the present character articles need to be merged. There is practically no reliable, verifiable sourcing independent of the subject matter to establish any sort of notability for any of this characters. As such, the characters should be merged here per WP:FICT, as the character list is appropriate as a spinout article per the aforementioned guideline. Discussion is welcome, although I will note that practically none of the characters has a chance of surviving an AfD, so merging may be the most desirable option.

From a quick analysis of the articles in question. Most of them give sources, (even if they are primary sources). Perhaps we should merge the ones with no sources listed first? Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 00:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I suppose. In the end, I doubt any really meet WP:FICT, as there's no significant English-language reception for them; ergo, all of them should be merged. However, I'll leave it to your discretion as to how the merging should be taken. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 06:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I just finished merging the Suzuka Tsukimura article into List of Nanoha characters, merge is a bit clunky, so it may need some work. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 06:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice work. Finish the merging at your discretion and I'll do some cleanup per WP:WAF when it's complete. Again, at your pace. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 06:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that Precia and Arf should probably be merged into this article, since they're hardly major characters, but Yuuno definitely qualifies as a major character, and one could make a case either way for Chrono. The Numbers are major characters in StrikerS, and in any case there's too much information on that page to fit in on this one. It's not like there's a lack of sources, either, it's just that most of them are in Japanese, and we can barely get translations on the CONSIDERABLE number of primary sources. Instead of merging stuff around, though, this page could definitely use better cleanup and sourcing; in fact, in my experience, merging lots of articles into one big article tends to make those big articles a total mess. 65.33.206.108 (talk) 02:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Per you suggestion I removed the "merge tabs" for the ones that you suggested and I am currently working on merging the Arf article, however I am not sure what to do with the "move lists". Any suggestions? Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 02:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
