Main villain for Legend of Korra season 1; seems to fail on notability. Three sources are cited in the article, neither of which focuses on him. Wired mentions him in briefly in passing, so do the two sources used for the reception section of the article - IGN episode and season reviews, which are primarily summaries ([1], [2]). I looked for reliable sources we should use instead, and there's not much. TOR blog is the only one semi-reliable source that focuses on this character, and by itself it is not enough. LoK is an important series, but outside the title character, nothing from the fictional world it created seems to meet encyclopedic criteria of notability. This entry is much better left to wikia ([3]). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:35, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. I've heavily edited most articles related to this TV series, and I'm not aware of any reilable source that addresses this particular supporting character in sufficient detail to impart notability. That the article is mostly plot summary is another indication of the lack of real-world coverage. Sandstein 20:15, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
- Merge to The Legend of Korra: I have to say, this is a much better article than most of the ones about fictional characters that I've seen get nominated for deletion. The "Reception" section contains some interesting information that establishes the out-of-universe perspective that these kinds of articles need, and while Amon isn't the central focus of any of the sources, the two articles by IGN each devote an entire paragraph to analyzing his character, while the article by Wired Magazine devotes several paragraphs to discussing the development of his character. I feel that this is enough to display significant coverage, even if just barely; however I still feel that this should be merged, since there is nothing in the article that couldn't be discussed in the "Reception" and "Cast and characters" sections of The Legend of Korra, while the development info from the Wired article (which hasn't actually been incorporated into this article yet) should be added to the "Production" section of that article. --Jpcase (talk) 23:03, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
- That would work, too. Sandstein 08:27, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed with Merge to The Legend of Korra. Most of the character articles of this series are almost entirely plot summary. The same goes for Katara, Sokka, et. al, although the case with Amon seems to be a lot worse. It's amazing that the Aang article managed to stay afloat. — Parent5446 ☯ (msg email) 13:11, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
