Keep has refs, more refs are evident from the above searches, and since the fictional character spans multiple works, there's no apparent place for the content to be merged. Jclemens (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nominator - Articles should not be kept simply because there is no place to merge them. Google Books and Google News archive searches result in a small number of mentions in passing: not enough to constitute significant coverage as per the general notability guideline. This fictional character is simply not sufficiently notable to justify an article. Neelix (talk) 20:51, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – I am not seeing any reliable or anything that's considered significant coverage in any of the search results I've looked at. –MuZemike 23:38, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete or redirect: can't find sources to WP:verifynotability. Saw the one source but it's not much more than a trivial mention. Nothing to base an article on. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gargoyle's Quest#Characters. -- Whpq (talk) 15:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about Gargoyle's Quest II or Demon's Crest, which also feature the Red Arremer, not to mention the various Ghouls 'n Ghosts games? I don't think that's a very good location to redirect. –MuZemike 16:25, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then the description there can be augmented to indicate the character elsewhere int he series. If there is a character list for the series, then it can be put there. -- Whpq (talk) 18:41, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does anyone have Nintendo Power #241? Gargoyle's Quest had a one-page article and I believe they discuss Firebrand, including his penchant for pseudonyms in games aiding his obscurity. —Ost (talk) 14:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I also disagree with moving to Gargoyle's Quest#Characters; this character existed before that game and merging/redirecting to Ghosts 'n Goblins (series) would be more appropriate. —Ost (talk) 15:31, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Gargoyle's Quest#Characters for apparent lack of notability. Redirecting would allow the content to be recovered later when an appropriate merge target can be found. – sgeureka ^t•c 15:01, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The Ghosts 'n Goblins (series) article covers both Ghosts n' Goblins as well as Gargoyle's Quest and Demon's Crest. Seems like a suitable target. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
