Chracter only appeared in a few episodes. The article has no sources to indicate notability and is mainly fiction summary and description of character's powers. Delete or something should be in order, cos if this guy deserves his own article, then Wikipedia should have a page on every single Power Ranger.

• Delete, the article is not notable as the character is only in 2 episodes of Kamen Rider Decade as Kamen Rider Abyss and the article has no reliable third-party sources. Powergate92Talk 22:33, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Abyss (character) has appeared in 2 Ep. and 4Ep. as Paradoxa. Xtreme2010 ( ~AlienX2009~ ) 22:47, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just because the character is in 5 episodes doe's not make them notable. The article needs reliable third-party sources to be notable as WP:Notability says "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article".

• Merge to List of Kamen Rider Decade characters in the Nine Worlds. I might just do that later this afternoon, rendering this deletion discussion moot.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• You cannot turn a page into a redirect while the discussion is still going. You can make a redirect later. NotARealWord (talk) 20:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just end the discussion yourself and make it into a redirect on your own. I've moved all the essential information on the character already.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:13, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While a Decade character, he was designed in the style of the Ryuki series.Fractyl (talk) 21:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - How is that a reason to keep? He appeared in Decade, so he belongs in a Decade character list. NotARealWord (talk) 22:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - That is not a reason to keep, as I said before the article needs reliable third-party sources to be notable per WP:Notability. Powergate92Talk 23:34, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to List of Kamen Rider Decade characters in the Nine Worlds. Edward321 (talk) 00:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Fails WP:NOTE, lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Page seems to be mostly just a collection of original research violation, no real significant secondary source discussion or critical commentary of any kind whatsoever. -- Cirt (talk) 20:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• delete (or merge, but there being no third party sourced content to merge, they effectively default to delete) Active Banana ( ^bananaphone 20:55, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Really, recurring characters like Otoya or Natsumi(kan) are better suited for their own articles than this guy. NotARealWord (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
