The result was Merge all to List of Time Crisis characters. The list is too long as it is to just merge to Time Crisis (series) (and it could likely be immediately resplit due to Wikipedia:Summary style). - jc37 07:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:FICT: No third-party sources anywhere to speak of, lacks real-world notability. It is written entirely in a in-universe style and consists entirely of plot summary. No secondary sources to speak of, so unsalvagable. Prod "contested" by anonymous user.

• Merge: into Time Crisis (series). Just the ones that are actually important to the game. - Rjd0060 (talk) 02:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've never played the console versions, so there might be some more back story to it, but what I literally get from the arcade games is that they're just two progressively prettier faces (due to technology) who have no personality whatsoever. You could call them Agent A and B and their role wouldn't change in the slightest. They barely speak, and when they do it's a smart remark or something. Each game has just two whiz-bang aces who are in a time crisis to save the world.
  • Wild Dog has slightly more personality, but again, not much, and nothing of his back story is ever revealed either. He's just the big bad guy who is a pain to take down and appears in every game. hbdragon88 (talk) 06:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - per Rjd.   jj137 (Talk) 03:17, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - This might be useful for us on StrategyWiki:. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge of the game to be able to properly split them up. Any help would be appreciated (please leave a message on my talk page here or there if you're interested). -- Prod-You (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or merge as Time Crisis is a notable game series (a new one just came out for the PlayStation 3. If merged, then please redirect without deleting so that if character notability increases we won't have to start the whole article over again.

  • WP:NOTINHERITED. While many reliable third-party sources have written about the Time Crisis games themselves (thus solidifying their encyclopaedic significance) the same is not true of the characters themselves. Garrett^Talk 09:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Characters who appear in a major international game series that are recognizable to thousands of people are inherently notable. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 15:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge anything that's needed to Time Crisis (series) , notablility not inherited and none independently established. Miremare 17:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
