• Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions. Taelus (talk) 08:28, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

• Keep and rename to List of Tomb Raider characters or similar, per generally accepted naming. See Lists of Nintendo characters. I know, I shouldn't use the other stuff exists argument, but I see no reason to delete this article. Ivanvector (talk) 08:59, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

• Comment, I notified an editor who is currently improving articles in the "Tomb Raider" area. If they are willing to clean-up the article, then we should keep it. Perhaps WikiProject Videogames may also help, they were previously notified of this AfD. Hope this helps, --Taelus (talk) 10:41, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

• Note there is an older article (by a year, according to edit history) called Tomb Raider characters. 70.29.211.138 (talk) 11:36, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Thanks, I contested the prod there and will initiate discussions on a potential merge/page move at the relevant WikiProject. (Unless this is deleted in which case there is nothing to merge.) --Taelus (talk) 11:40, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

• Speedy Merge with Tomb Raider characters into a new article List of Tomb Raider Characters. Also nominator did not specifically mention why it fails WP:NOTPLOT and WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE. Simply listing them is not grounds for nomination. Why does it fail? No rationale given for the failings, no legs to stand on. --Teancum (talk) 13:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
  • If I recopy the text of PLOT or GUIDE, what's the point of having shortcuts? The sections are either plot-only descriptions, or guides to how to reach interaction points with the characters or what action to use for an outcome plus a plot description. Now... that looks like I copied the shortcuts I listed as reasons for deletion... which seems a rather pointless exercise in excessive verbage and duplication. 70.29.211.138 (talk) 13:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
