Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Space Battleship Yamato characters
I don't know where people are getting the impression that reliable sources aren't needed for an article, but it sure isn't from our |policies or |guidelines concerning sources and inclusion.  See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Space Battleship Yamato (spaceship) for similar arguments.  This ''particular'' article fails both  and .  The big reason secondary sources are needed for topic coverage is that those sources provide critical commentary that we can then summarize.  Interpreting promotional sources from the company or primary sources (the episodes themselves) is not our job.  The significance of the "parent" article doesn't have any impact on this particular article.  Unless there are multiple sources which cover the subject (characters of the show) in detail, this article should be deleted
