The result was merge summarized content into Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series and delete the rest. These articles fail many of the criteria at WP:FICT, and Wikipedia is not a guide to all things Zelda (or any other game or fictional work). I've tried to incorporate a representative piece of each article into the more general Enemies one; editors who would like access to the deleted material for the purpose of doing a more extensive rewrite may contact me on my talk page. As a side note, the material seems to have been preserved at http://egamia.com/wiki/ . Tijuana Brass (talk) 07:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is an in-universe regurgitation of the plot and character sections of several Legend of Zelda game articles and has no notability of its own. As such, it is pure duplication in an unencyclopedic way. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:57, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep Not a very helpful vote and I apologize for that, but I want to mention that the term "Octorok" is burned forever into my subconscious by that horrible rap music commercial they ran for Zelda in the '80s; unlike most in-universe Zelda content on WP, this one seems to be close to the core of the "plot". --- tqbf 18:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC) --- abstain --- i cannot trust that my subconscious hasn't been programmed to betray me on this, and as such I recuse myself. --- tqbf 21:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right on both counts; that commerical is burned into my memory, and the extent of this articles notability is its use in an obscure 80's rapping video game commercial. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
