[edit] Shizuka Dômeki

Shizuka Dômeki (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article is a) not notable(it's about some third character from an incredibly obscure anime) and b) written in a completeley unencyclopedic way. Oh, and also, it has no references --124.40.47.157 (talk) 05:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC) Text copied from article talk page. ➨ REDVEЯS is now 40 per cent papier mâché 12:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Firstly, xxxHolic is far from obscure. Indeed both the anime and manga are very popular right now. And it's far from unsourable either. I get numerous Google News hits and even some Google Books hits. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Searching under alternate romanizations (is ô really the official English spelling?) and looking at reviews for xxxHolic, it looks like enough has been written about this primary antagonist/rival of a very popular series to convince me he passes our notability guidelines. Leaving this without a !vote for now, as I don't have time to sift through the metric LiveJournal's worth of fansites. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge & Redirect to List of xxxHolic characters. It contains no assertion of real-world impact or significance and there is no reasonable expectation that such impact or significance exists. Standard practice is therefore to merge to the character list. I note the xxxHolic world contains numerous articles that are in-universe fandom and not encyclopedia articles. Wikipedia is not a fansite. A major cleanup and merge across the whole corpus of articles would be appropriate. Eusebeus (talk) 17:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• You're not wrong about the xxxHolic suite needing cleanup. Might take a while for the WikiProject Anime and Manga to get to it, though, as their cleanup list is pretty big at the moment, as articles get added faster than we can work on them. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • As far as that's concerned, most of the CLAMP-related articles need major cleanup... pretty much every CLAMP series article I've looked at has some form of trivia section linking it and its characters to CLAMP's other works. —Dinoguy1000 14:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Well, most of the crossovers can probably be sourced, as they're canon. Eventually, it'd be good to compile up a solidly sourced article on the CLAMP multiverse. I'm not the one to do it, though. —Quasirandom (talk) 23:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep under Quasirandom's rationale, or merge if there is enough reason. Katsuhagi (talk) 00:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep/Merge per above. —Dinoguy1000 14:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of xxxHolic characters. The article fails WP:PLOT and there is already an extensive treatment on the list article, which is why I recommend a redirect over a merge. This article also contains a great deal of original research, trivia, and flat out bloviating (for example, the "Relationships and connections" section). --Farix (Talk) 17:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
