Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Invader Zim characters (2nd nomination)
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was merge to Invader Zim#Characters. This will have to be a Merge, not a Redirect, as this section of this article is empty save a link to the article under discussion here. There might be calls for a split later but that debate can happen after a Merge takes place. Liz Read! Talk! 20:52, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

No evidence of any notability in what appears to be simply fan-cruft. Sources are blogs, IMDB, a single fanzine and a 404 error. Little value in merging into Invader Zim as no evidence of any encyclopaedic value here. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 13:59, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to the main article for now, due to complete WP:OR sourcing. However, no prejudice towards recreation if sources are incorporated into it, as it could certainly be a viable list. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Merge/Redirect as compromise. Editors can find the right level of coverage at the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Clarifying that "main article" means Invader Zim. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Can those arguing for a Merge/Redirect provide a specific target article/section they are advocating? Liz Read! Talk! 06:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I had to add a character section for the merging in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. Have all the information sent there if the outcome is merge. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There seems to be consensus forming for merge or redirect as an ATD, but no consensus for either yet.

- Merge to Invader Zim#Characters - While not all of the unsourced cruft needs to be moved over, the main characters and cast should absolutely be listed on the main article for the series, and so should be merged. The "Recurring" and especially the "Minor" characters should not be merged to the main article, though. Rorshacma (talk) 23:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
