Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in Golden Sun
I think this article fails the relevant guidelines (Previous versions of  that still have consensus, , ). The above users fail to establish ''why'' this is the case though, so I will be a little more elaborative in the hope I can express some of the argumentation that is tacitly assumed by most of the above comments that advocate deletion.The platform of the game makes it less likely a character list is needed. Gameboy games have no voice acting, and the limited space available makes ''story telling'' in general a lot harder. Only very few characters on this list are actually part of the main story, and only those can be kept with a rationale that they would be essential to good coverage of the game. The characters in 'other major characters' are really just minor when I read their description, and should be removed even if this article is kept along with the minor characters.Character lists are usually spinouts from the original articles, but all the character information here could be summarised in those main articles, making a spinout for size reasons unnecessary. There's about four paragraphs available each, and this should be more than enough space to adequately describe each major character. The descriptions in the list are often excessive and redundant, too. Each character's role in the story is described, even if it is minor: describing the characters ''themselves'', and then a good description of the plot, would be a better way to inform readers of the story of this series.Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Archive 37#Character lists|See here for more argumentation on character lists
