Duplicates some content at List of Ace Attorney characters and should be merged there in my opinion. -- Dane2007 talk 21:54, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article Creator Blocked I don't know anything about video games, so I won't just delete this article, but this article was created by an editor who has been dicking around here for a while, and who is now blocked. So there's a decent chance that it's some kind of weird fanboy vandalism. Although maybe it's a damn fine article, stranger things have happened I suppose. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:49, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, you're on the right track. Not vandalism, but written informally from an in-universe perspective, consisting mostly of regurgitated plot-summary, and containing zero third party references - basically the type of fan-stuff that WP:VG keeps trying to eliminate from the project for failing the WP:GNG.

  • Redirect or Delete - per my comment above. "Redirect" because it is a plausible search term, but delete more because the disambiguation is both unnecessary (there's no other "Apollo Justices" to be written about) and incorrect (there's no reason to capitalize "character"). So, I'm fine with a redirect, but a redirect just at Apollo Justice (which already exists.) Sergecross73 msg me 20:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A redirect from Apollo Justice (character) to the Apollo section of the character list makes sense to me - I would expect Apollo Justice to lead to the video game Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, which clearly is more notable, so I'd say the (character) disambiguation is a valid search term when looking for information on the character.--IDVtalk 09:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It already is a redirect and has been for 5 years. The article here is at (Character), note the capital C, not (character).--67.68.161.51 (talk) 19:03, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know. I was just saying that a redirect pointing to the Apollo Justice section of the character list seems desirable, and that since Apollo Justice should (as it does) point to the game's article, one using a lowercase (character) disambiguation would be good.--IDVtalk 19:15, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
