Deletion of Characters of Dante's Inferno

Comment: merging any characters that are actually notable to the parent article.  Dante's Inferno is not yet notable enough for a "list of" article, having had only one game and an animated film.  More in-policy, there just isn't |significant coverage from |reliable sources for the video game versions of these characters

Comment: as |original research. No notability, and I can't see any way of verifying it without playing the game

Comment: in some capacity.  Despite the maybe not intentionally false or factually inaccurate claims above, the characters of the game are indeed covered in the published strategy guide and discussed at length in numerous print previews and reviews of the game, including ones that appeared in such non-video game magazines as ''Entertainment Weekly''.  Moreover, it is incorrect to say they are just video game characters as the game has been adapted into a film as well as a comic book series.  Now, we can debate whether the article should focus on the game or not, but we cannot deny that Characters of Dante's Inferno should not be a redlink.  At worst it would redirect somewhere (such as the character section of the poem's article), but at best, it would be rewritten to focus on the characters of the poem (many based on real historical figures who are unquestionably notable) and its various subsequent adaptations.  The poem is one of the great works of literature, something mentioned in even the concise version of Western Civilization textbooks and its influence on Western culture is enormous.  There are indeed schorlarly and academic articles (look beyond Google to J-Stor and Academic Search Complete) that focus on the characters of the poem and so per  and , we must consider these alternatives.  If the article simply had "game" in its title, then I could maybe understand, but we absolutely should use it as a basis for a larger discussion of these characters from the epic poem and their depiction in multiple diverse forms of media.  We do not have an unsalvageable situation by any means here and the question is more one of refocusing and revising than scrapping for eternity.  On a side note, another complete game of the same name was also made, but never released and is discussed with regards to characters in I believe ''Game Informer''.  --Special:Contributions/192.150.115.150|192.150.115.150
