grouped Chunky Kong, Lanky Kong, and Tiny Kong into one AfD
Delete all. Chunky Kong is in one game as playable with one minor cameo in another, Lanky Kong is in one game as playable only, and Tiny Kong is in one main game as playable, minor cameos in a couple of games, and a character in a couple of racing games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge (more information from these articles) into List of Donkey Kong characters. JackSparrow Ninja 06:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- YES! Merge them all, right now! --PJ Pete
- Strong Keep Tiny Kong is a definite keep, because of the many games she is now in. Chunky and Lanky also both deserve articles. Link's just trying to delete everything that's only been in one game. His profile mentions how he's going to merge/delete articles for Earthbound characters, even though they're important. And no, I'm not biased. Don't judge me by my name.

- So what if I believe being in only one game to not be enough to warrant them to have articles? It's not like I'm the only one of them. Why does a character who appears in only one game and has no character warrant an article? - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, you seem to be mistaken with the notability criteria of video games. For Tiny Kong, it is not the sheer number of appearances, but the importance of these appearances. The only games in which Tiny Kong is of any importance are Diddy Kong Racing DS and Donkey Kong 64. Two games is not enough, especially when these games' plots are not very important. - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh! This article is REALLY important, do NOT delete it. If there's an article of a character than makes only one appearance, please merge it into an article of a list of characters. I merged Lanky Kong in the List of Donkey Kong characters article and put the image there. For the Chunky Kong article, someone should merge it into List of Donkey Kong characters also. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PJ Pete (talk • contribs) 05:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Merge/Redirect them all into List of Donkey Kong characters or into their respective video game articles. None of these characters are notable outside of their video game appearances.Jonny2x4 01:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Redirect into List of Donkey Kong characters. According to Wikipedia:Notability (fiction),
- Minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be merged with short descriptions into a "List of characters."
- Clear case here. GracenotesT § 05:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Individual articles are capable of meriting multiple paragraphs (already two of them do). In that case, it would fail the definition of a minor character on WP:FICT. Also, it passes the "interesting and importance" test. Tuxide 05:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Many entries on Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy have multiple paragraphs. GracenotesT § 17:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Edison 06:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Abundantly clear Merge. Nintendo characters in general, no matter how minor, are clearly worthy at least a redirect. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge for reasons above. Suriel1981 13:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
