Sly Cooper (character): Unless there's an angle I'm missing, it doesn't seem to be a notable character, let alone one with impact.

Kung Fu Man ( talk ) 22:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge to Sly Cooper#Major characters .  The height of Sly's popularity was in the early 2000s before widespread Internet coverage, so WP:OFFLINE sources likely exist where online ones don't.  I found a couple of promising ones in Game Developer magazine [14] [15] .  But, most mentions of Sly appear to be about the game or its story as a whole.  I do think there's enough to merit a list of characters and would encourage the cleanup and recreation of List of Sly Cooper characters with sources.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ ) 23:45, 19 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge .  I like the guy, and I'd be pretty happy if some stronger reception came out for him, and maybe one day I'll take another look, just in case.  But for now, he's unfortunately lacking.  - Cukie Gherkin ( talk ) 15:52, 20 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge per above.  Unless something more turns up, Sly just doesn't have enough to divorce him from the rest of his series in terms of an article.  Has one ever considered Magneton?  Pokelego999 ( talk ) 19:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak keep or merge per above.  Some of these awards are WP:SIGCOV , but I've always felt that an article requires both a quality and quantity of reliable coverage.  (See: WP:MINIMUMCOV .)  The series is literally about the character, so that is a good WP:ATD .  Shooterwalker ( talk ) 19:19, 20 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge per above.  Greenish Pickle!  ( 🔔 ) 02:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Merge - Considering Sly Cooper's peak popularity in the early 2000s and the potential availability of offline sources, such as Game Developer magazine, the proposal to merge Sly into the Major characters section of the main Sly Cooper article appears reasonable.  This approach ensures that information about Sly is still covered within the broader context of the series.  Given the character's historical significance, merging allows for a more consolidated and comprehensive representation without the need for a standalone article.

GraziePrego ( talk ) 05:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Summarizing comment doesn't make it ai.  Not sure about your point.  If you have issue with my Keep vote and its justification please give proper argument to oppose that.
