List of Angry Birds characters

I do not see how this achieves notability per WP:LISTN, for instance, which requires discussion "as a group or set by independent reliable sources". The internet is full of such lists, of course, but reliable sources, that's another matter--and the existence of something like Angry Birds Star Wars Character Encyclopedia doesn't help much, since such a game guide is hardly an independent source--by definition almost, such books are inclusive and can therefore not be expected to reliably establish the importance of any of these characters or the group as a whole. Merging into the main article, considerably trimmed, is fine with me as well, but the bottom line is that 84k of such fan material is a needless use of resources.

Delete - per nom. Non notable list of fan trivia. Sources are primary, which is ok to show these "characters" exist - but there's no discussion of the list of characters by reliable secondary sources, so fails LISTN. Begoon ^talk 15:55, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to series article. I went through as many of the elements as the list that I could and found zero coverage (nevertheless significant coverage) about them as individual characters. So I'm not sure a section on characters could have much justification at all. This said, redirects are cheap, and a redirect would help remind those who inevitably go to recreate a characters article for a major series that they'd need a whole lotta reliable sources before attempting to do so. Please ping me if more (non-English and offline) sources show in the future. czar ♔ 17:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to main article. Fair amount of edit history and recognition around wikipedia. Page can be remade anytime with less fan material. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 06:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
