The result was speedy close. I've restored the redirect to the city, we clearly don't need to run through this. If someone wants to merge the content to a different article, it's in the history. J Milburn (talk) 17:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable character with no third party sources. Plus, it is somewhat WP:CRYSTAL _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 01:44, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions. (Search video game sources) _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 01:48, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - This character in no way meets WP:NOTE. The only source on the character is Pokémon Sunday, which is a primary source affiliated with the producer of the product. The article itself makes its own argument for deletion: "Nothing is known about her except that she is important to the plot". かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 01:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - An important character in a notable game. If we can't list her here, we should at least put her on the list of characters. --75.149.70.22 (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Almost nothing is known about her. There would be nothing to list but a name. Not even Bulbapedia has an article for her, because it is too soon. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 14:53, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Question does this character already appear in one of the "List of Pokemon..." articles? Jclemens (talk) 23:46, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• No, because like I said above, nothing is known about her. There was a small video showing her START a battle with the player, but that is it. screen _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 00:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:V - the reference isn't even a reference. Marasmusine (talk) 08:39, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or include her in list of Pokémon characters. --12.50.206.130 (talk) 14:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep because Pokemon Black/White is notable. --208.105.158.60 (talk) 17:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• • Comment - Notability is not inherited. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 17:09, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. All we know about the character is the name. It is ridiculous to suggest that this alone is enough to warrant an article. I'd have a hard time supporting even a merge to List of Pokémon characters on this basis. Melicans (talk, contributions) 17:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:GNG, with no prejudice against an entry in List of Pokemon characters if she becomes a more important character. Claritas § 20:15, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – No reliable secondary sources that shows that this is even remotely notable, even by the most laxed standards. –MuZemike 23:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Change to redirect to Keren, Eritrea as a plausible search term for that African town (which I never would have guessed in a million years). –MuZemike 16:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; fails WP:GNG as an independent entity. Ironholds (talk) 23:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Non-notable character. Diego Grez ^{let's talk} 23:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to list of Pokémon characters. --138.110.206.99 (talk) 23:43, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as non-notable character and allow it to redirect back to Keren, Eritrea. Salavat (talk) 05:54, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect back to Keren, Eritrea and fully protect the redirect indefinitely. There is definitely not enough reliable independent coverage of the character to justify a stand-alone article for said character at this time. Since this page used to be a valid, reasonable redirect to Keren, Eritrea, it would be better to restore the original redirect and fully protect it to prevent further edit warring rather than simply hit the delete button. --SoCalSuperEagle (talk) 07:53, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Whoever accused me and the other IPs of being sockpuppets of the article creator should try a geolocate. Also, why wouldn't it make sense to merge this article into list of Pokémon characters? --138.110.206.101 (talk) 16:50, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - All I meant is that is looks very suspect for three IPs who have never edited before to make their first edits at a small AfD, and also know the correct formatting to use for everything. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 17:57, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
