No. 17 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

The article dose not do a good job of explaining the subject and would be better served as a description inside List_of_Earthlings_in_Dragon_Ball rather than it's own article. Ke5crz (talk) 22:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball It needs more linking and probably references as well. Lady Galaxy 22:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per Lady Galaxy. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 14:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge I second that notion. Either improve the article, merge it, or wipe it out. --Wattzking (Contact • Contributions) 14:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge I also agree. Earthbendingmaster 15:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Inappropriate reason for deletion/. We do not delete articles because they do a poor job of it, we improve them. If we started deleting poor quality articles.... DGG (talk) 17:44, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're not deleting it, we're stating to merge it. None of us said to delete it. Lady Galaxy 23:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No secondary sources to establish notability or provide real world context. Do not merge "Earthlings in Dragonball" does not have secondary sources to establish notability or provide real world context either, so merging doesn't solve any problems it just delays the solutions.

Well, in regards to merge or deletion, I don't really care as long as the article is gone, right? It probably fails WP:NN now that you mention it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment if kept, this should be renamed as "No. 17" is a wholly inappropriate name. Perhaps Android 17 (Dragonball) or something. 132.205.44.5 (talk) 22:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was a BIG discussion about that at WP:WPDB. It pretty much ended as "No. 17" being the article name. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Artificial Human #17. I'd also mention that No. 18 should be included in this AfD, as it's basically the same thing. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 17:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Entire content already present at List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Artificial Human #17. Pastordavid (talk) 03:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per DGG. Tim Q. Wells (talk) 23:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment did you even read DGG's concern? The person was told that we weren't considering deletion. If the page gets merged, the history will still be available. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • So what? There is not much of a difference between deletion and merging for me. Tim Q. Wells (talk) 00:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
