Tina Armstrong[edit]

This video game character has no Wikipedia:Notability,same as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zafina, this one should be deleted or merged as well. There is already a "list of character" article for this game series. And "other game characters also have their own articles" isn't a valid argument for this one to pass the Wikipedia:Notability requirement. Shrine Maiden (talk) 18:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters. -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep she is one of the flagship characters of the DoA franchise. However, the article needs some cleaning up. JuJube (talk) 23:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You claiming her to be "flagship" doesn't mean anything. Give credible outside sources to prove that she is notable. Shrine Maiden (talk) 01:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, want to avoid being a Richard here, Sparky. Tina Armstrong was, as the article states, present in every DOA iteration and used frequently in merchandising. Cleanup would involve finding those sources. I'm gonna invoke WP:SOFIXIT and say that that's what should be done, instead of taking the lazy way and just deleting it. But I'm not gonna be the one to do it since I neither know nor care all that much about the franchise. JuJube (talk) 03:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters, as it would be a useful redirect. 70.51.11.210 (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wikipedia:Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world) and What Wikipedia is. --Happy editing!

Redirect to List of Dead or Alive characters. I hate to use the C-word, but I'm afraid that's what this is. I also don't think there isn't anything worth merging to the list. And no, it's not that WP:IDONTLIKEIT, either. MuZemike (talk) 16:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weather forecast also calls for WP:SNOW. MuZemike (talk) 16:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moderate Keep: She's definitely a "flagship" character. She's been used as a marketing portrait, and I'm sure we can find plenty of sources speaking on her. However, if it can't be done, I'll support merging. King Zeal (talk) 17:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per King Zeal, otherwise Merge Edward321 (talk) 00:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect She may be a flagship character, but it doesn't seem to have benefited her in terms of appropriate sources. A merge/redirect to List_of_Dead_or_Alive_characters makes sense until this character can be verified by reliable third-party sources, at which point notability is certain. Randomran (talk) 15:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This character is notable because she appears in both video games and a film. Only a handful of the millions of video game characters out there have also made the leap to the big screen. And she has also been made into toys something else only a handful of video game characters could claim. And yes, she is also covered in reliable third party sources, such as "Girls of DOAU: Tina: This simple country girl will snap you in two in the blink of an eye. New screens and direct-feed movies" on IGN. She is also an award winning fictional character. Winning a televised award is additionally notable. As usual, I have revised the article accordingly. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 18:21, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
