This article fails notability for decade. WP:BEFORE shows nothing and what the currently has is the pdf source at reception. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 22:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I like Nights, I have to agree to the fact that he is not passing Notability right now. I can't find any sources and the current sourcing state is bare. Thus, I have to go with Delete on this. There's just not much worth keeping in this article, there's not even any plot summary or anything. Unless some sources suddenly spring up, it's best to just get rid of this article. Pokelego999 (talk) 01:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Nights into Dreams. It's not an independently notable character, and the reception is barely-there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge the tiny amount of information here to Nights into Dreams. This is a simple case of “doesn’t need a separate article”. Dronebogus (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Nights into Dreams as the subject doesn't have independent notability apart from it. Knox490 (talk) 13:08, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Nights into Dreams - The reception section being based entirely on the fact that the character was a runner up in gaming magazine's "Best of" list is bit of a red flag. Searching for sources only really turn up significant coverage on the games themselves, with no real coverage specifically on the main character that would warrant a separate article. (Also, the main character is named NiGHTS, who is a "Nightmaren" from "Nightopia"? Weren't really trying too hard with the names there, were they...). Rorshacma (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect/Merge as WP:ATD, per Rorshacma. The reception is mostly WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs, but there is some verifiable content that might be worth preserving. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:29, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
