Ztar[edit]

This is a very brief article, and I doubt anything else could be added to it. ~~Notable~~ Sort-of-notable, but not enough for its own article. It could simply be merged with a list of items in the Mario series, or deleted altogether. –Llama man 00:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not even sure I know what it asserts to be given the missing words. I'm also not sure if every piece of a video game is "notable," but in any event, this could easily be merged if it is worthwhile at all. JCO312 00:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - It's one sentence. Merge it with the Mario Party 4 or 5 article and turn it into a redirect, if you can even find an appropriate place to add the information. Definitely not notable enough for its own article. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 00:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I agree with JCO312, not every item in every video game is notable, and the description is too short to be worth merging. JIP | Talk 07:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The description is indecipherable. Basically void of content.zadignose 12:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

delete notability doesn't travel downhill. /Blaxthos 21:31, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge. This is a one-line stub. Learn about how redirect, prod and article talk pages work before coming to Afd. And please leave more than five minutes to article creators in the future.--JJay 21:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Um, I (the nominator) knew about those things; I just felt that this article is pretty much non-notable, should be deleted, did not completely meet the speedy deletion criteria, might be too controversial to be prodded, and that nothing else could be added to the article besides what is already there. –Llama man 00:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

None of that excuses the failure to enter into discussion with the article creator or to propose a redirect. As far as I'm concerned, nominating a new article for deletion five minutes after creation is a violation of WP:AGF, particularly when dealing with a good faith editor who may not be aware of existing articles or wikipedia guidelines. AfD should be the last resort, not the first, and this is a good example of an AfD that could have been avoided through discussion. --JJay 19:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite and Merge, otherwise delete Single line and hard to read. Also, not notable enough for its own article. Wiki Fox 02:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete! Look,I created this page for people to undestand what a Ztar was. It's a young stub. Please let it grow, I'm begging you! Later , maybe, it might even be a featured article nominee!j@5h+u15y@n 03:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if it can be improved soon, otherwise Delete. Insanephantom (my Editor Review) 05:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect - per User:Llama man --Arctic Gnome 16:18, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect This is a possible search term, there's no reason to delete it. Redirecting pages should generally be dealt with outside of the AfD process. Lyrl ^Talk _C 00:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
