The only sigcov source here[1] and a bit useful IGN source [2] still doesn't pass WP:GNG with the demonstrated sources. The best thing is to merge it into a list of characters. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 11:39, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Section Move. I find it strange that this character ends up having her own page in this website, so I agree that the majority of the information in Demona's separate article should be merged in the list of Gargoyle characters. Anonymy365248 (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She's a decades-old character who is still popular today and has appeared in different forms of media including games and comics. --DrBat (talk) 21:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"But without a single reliable source to verify its existence or accuracy, there is no way it can be included" doesn't apply here. DrBat (talk) 01:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, I'm not sure what I'm gonna respond to you. Show me more sources like Mary Sue that really doscuss the character in detail for it to prove that she's really notable. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 01:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's this article, this interview, and this video. --DrBat (talk) 02:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I already brought up the IGN source. Demona is just a passing mention from the AV club source + that youtube source is unreliable. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The av club one has a whole section of the interview about the character, it's hardly a passing mention. --DrBat (talk) 04:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I missed this sorry, but we don't usually call this WP:SIGCOV as a source somehow since Demona wasn't discussed as a character but as an interview to voice her in a short detail. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 04:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect – To List of Gargoyles characters. Fails in WP:GNG for a WP:SPLIT. Svartner (talk) 05:03, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of Gargoyles characters#Demona or keep. I am on the fence if there is enough coverage in secondary sources for a stand-alone article, but we have a reception section based on one here, which is not present at the target. So clearly both deletion and redirection would be a loss for the encyclopedic coverage as compared to the situation now. A merge is even suggested in the nomination.

Redirect/merge to List of Gargoyles characters. Right now it clearly fails GNG - no prejudice towards a split if reliable sources can be found later. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:13, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Merge per Zxcvbnm. A short summary can appear at the character list. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
