Aside from being revealed as the undead original Sub-Zero, he really hasn't contributed anything significant to the series, which has certainly stymied any significant reception he could've received. There's one 2021 in-depth profile by Polygon but nothing else noteworthy was found; it's mainly the usual quips and recycled listicles. Could either be merged into the general list or Sub-Zero since he's basically an extension of the character. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 04:12, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Never thought about that but it's not a bad idea. Edited my nomination as a result. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 06:19, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Given that Noob Saibot was his own character for more than a decade, and that reveal was a plot twist, I feel it makes more sense to redirect him to the list for WP:SURPRISE reasons. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:52, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per others Andre🚐 03:59, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or merge with it's section at List of Mortal Kombat characters in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 19:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The argument for why this needs to go is really not very strong.KatoKungLee (talk) 02:47, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- KatoKungLee: Care to elaborate? The reason for the nomination is pretty clear. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 06:07, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Normally, I do agree with you, but other editors are expressing that, in their opinion, Noob Saibot doesn't pass the notability for his own article, which is a valid reason for a merge. If you disagree, and believe he does pass the notability, say why. If you have any coverage of him in reliable sources that might make your argument more convincing, please provide them.
