Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manon Batiste
due to improvements.  I did some searches on Google News and Google Books and was able to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manon_Batiste&diff=312203384&oldid=312113087 address the various criticisms of the article above.  The article is indeed a significant character who appears in multiple well-received mainstream games, including as the main character in one game who is additionally notable in the real world as being based on a historical figure.  The article is not solely plot and I am not opposed to condensing that aspect of the article to make it more balanced, but in any event, the article now contains out of universe development information and some reception information.  Looking at reviews, I expect to be able to add even more out of universe context, but just wanted to note the progress thus far.  But as we have seen the article is being addressed now in an encyclopedic manner, because significant third-party sources regarding this fascinating character do indeed exist.  If the nominator can http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manon_Batiste&diff=312075834&oldid=311974264 live with a redirect, then per  a discussion concerning the redirect should have been discussed on the article's talk page and if the article's referenced content can be covered elsewhere then per  and Wikipedia:Merge and delete we would still at worst redirect with the edit history intact.  As there is no pressing need to redlink here and no one is really calling for that, this discussion really should be speedily closed with a merge/redirect discussion taking place on the article's talk page.
