Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of female video game characters by role
Provided that the term "female video game characters appearing in a significant role" in the lede be replaced with "|notable female video game characters". The current "significant role" inclusion criterion is undefined and unworkable. Notability is well defined and provides necessary clarity on the topic of inclusion - something that is made necessary by such a potentially massive topic. To address the specific reason that this list meets the threshold of includability on Wikipedia, we need look no further than the obvious notability of the list's topic - "female video game characters". The lede needs to be expanded to summarize this topic and JohnnyMrNinja's comment suggests to me that Portrayal of women in video games may be the best place to start for material leading to this expanded lede. The article also needs sources badly. Ideally every entry should be sourced. The sourcing should demonstrate notability as well as the descriptive elements of the inclusion criteria (i.e. that it's a female character and that it comes from the video game listed in its entry). The article needs a lot of love and care if it's to start looking like keeper material, but I think at it's core it's an OK list for Wikipedia
