Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asahi Takebe
to Tenchi Muyo!. Some of the content of these article are salvageable for a character list when it is created. The redirect will at least preserve the past contributions and allow a future editor a bases to work when they create the character list. However, the nominator really hasn't give rationale as to why deletion is better over other methods, such as merge or redirect, beyond the fact that they are |neglected. The fact that no one has not gotten around to creating the character list and merging these articles into it doesn't mean that deletion is a valid option. The fact is, there is |no deadline to merge articles so long as there is still a valid reason to merge the articles. Editors '''should not''' be "escalating" merge proposals to deletion proposals '''unless''' there are reason that a merge is not an appropriate outcome
