[edit] Merger

I don't think a merge is appropriate. There's an awful lot of information in the Undead article that would clutter up the normal character listing. I appreciate having this list of all the Undead, in part because sometimes, you just want to know what episode an Undead was in without rifling through the entire series to find it. We may not NEED this article, but it's still nice to have. Howa0082 (talk) 18:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't make them notable and a full list is not necessary. Remember, this is not a fan site, it is an encyclopedia. We provide an overview. In truth, none of the Kamen Rider Blade characters should have their own articles as they all fail WP:FICT, but the Undead is the worse violator. Recent AfDs have shown that a species article like this is unlikely to survive an AfD. At best, the Undead need nothing more than the summary already seen in the main article, not an episode by episode list (which is what the episode list should be for).

I was going to counter that by pointing out that the Toku project heartily endorses such articles, but as usual, the schmuck in charge of that project has absolutely no guidelines for ANYTHING. Howa0082 (talk) 19:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and the Toku project, unfortunately, is advocating violating the guidelines of its parent project, the Television project, and several Wikipedia guidelines and policies. :( If the desire is for the Kamen Rider articles to actually be of high quality and one day reach featured status, I'd suggest ignoring the project's endorsements and looking to the Television guidelines and relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines such as WP:FICT, WP:EPISODE (for episodes), WP:PLOT, and, of course WP:RS and WP:V. Collectonian (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

well, I second the keeping. However, if there's some things to fix, then we just do that. Fractyl (talk) 13:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
