I've redirected it before, but that was undone. Well, AfD I suppose. A huge, huge list of characters from the Starship Troopers franchise, which includes a novel, OVA, a film series and animated series. Everything is completely in-universe, no actual encyclopedic information, i.e., creation, development, reception. There isn't a single reference and a quick Google search brings up plenty of reliable sources that discuss the themes of Starship Troopers, but not the characters. Suitable for a wikia Fandom page, not Wikipedia. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (unless someone can provide more encyclopedic information with reference): Well, at least there is a reason(s) now and I agree with them (creation, development, and reception, which I am not sure if there will be any to be added by other editors). I undid the edit because nobody brought up the problems of the page in talk page. (At least there has to be a heads-up before a major rework, including redirect.)

I think parts of them can be relocated/integrated into respective pages. For examples, some of the major characters from the novel, like Juan Rico, Sergeant Zim, and Jean Dubois, can be briefly mentioned in the section like "Main characters". --TX55^TALK 15:27, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or redirect per nom. Agreed that most of the sources are focused more on the political themes of Starship Troopers without really focusing in on the characters, which do not meet the general notability guideline. Jontesta (talk) 19:34, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• REDIRECT Starship Troopers (franchise) already has the the chart at the bottom of this page. Most of the characters aren't listed as being in more than one thing(anime, films, etc)., so any information about them can be in the article for that thing.

• Delete/Redirect as a topic that has insufficient coverage in third party sources to meet the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:23, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
