List of characters in Bully (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

This is a list of characters only appearing in a single video game. The plot and character sections in the main article are able to cover them in enough detail to establish their roles. The only real content in this list is unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 15:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletions. TTN (talk) 16:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Ugh. Article includes third party sources in the form of an interview with the developer and IGN.com articles, and first party sources in the form of in-game dialogue. Even if the entire "cliques" section is deemed cruft and removed, there would still be enough sourced verifiable information to warrant keeping the article.

  • Merge per Marasmusine's arguments... if there's no objections shall I go ahead and do that? 75.148.25.169 (talk) 17:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC) (User:McJeff who forgot to log in)[reply]
• Delete. Utterly in-universe, with no real external sources nor the slightest sign of notice outside of the fan-base. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 14:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Sorry McJeff, I know you and Dan the Man have put some work into this, and I've had some attempts at cleaning it up before, but everytime I see it, it looks worse. The primary source material is being used to delve into original research, and there isn't enough independent coverage to justify such an in-depth article on fiction. Now, there are good references there for two, maybe three characters (the IGN article on Crabblesnitch, for example) and these should be used to enrichen the Bully (video game) article.

• Merge to Bully (video game) sans the unreferenced original research. Something here has to be salvageable and be able to be placed into the parent article. MuZemike (talk) 16:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Bully (video game). I was gonna vote keep, however merging it with the Bully article is the better thing to do. Dan the Man1983 (talk) 17:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
