This AfD concerns four articles: Eureka (Eureka Seven), Anemone (Eureka Seven), Dominic Sorel and Renton Thurston, all characters of Eureka 7 anime. I originally prodded them with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirements." They were all deprodded by User:VMS Mosaic and User:TheFarix who argued that they should be merged to List of Eureka Seven characters. I have no problem with merge, but given that those articles have notability tags from 2009 and nobody bothered to merge them since, it's time to push the issue. They don't seem to pass stand-alone notability requirements, so it's time to do something: and if no-one wants to merge them now, I am afraid we should delete them (perhaps softly through redirect). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:13, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the character list As much I would would love to see these remain stand alone I have better sense that to debate that point, its been debated from hell to breakfast and then back to Texas, so we all know the material will be axed otherwise. Merging or perhaps redirecting at least lets us preserve the history and selected material from the article for our readers. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close as Merge per rationale and standard procedure. I don't think we need a drawn out AFD here, the merge just needs to be done. We have a target article, but it would be nice for someone familiar with the series to decide what to merge.SephyTheThird (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I can do that since I've seen the series; however I am about to come off the machine momentarily since today's house remodel project requires the electricity to be disabled for some hours. If you're willing to wait until this evening, I could see to the merging of relevant material unless someone else beats me to it. TomStar81 (Talk) 12:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Sometimes reviewers cover characters and their designs when talking about the series as a whole, have these been looked at? THEM anime reviews, and Mania might be good places to look in addition to the ANN references for broader coverage. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
