While I love Kirby, the series gets practically no discussion on its characters anywhere. Outside of the main trio of Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knight, the rest of cast receives barely any coverage. The characters as a whole receive no coverage, either. The characters as a whole don't seem to meet notability, and not even an argument equivalent to NLIST can be made, as Kirby is the only character from the series with an article. More minor recurring characters can logically be discussed in brief in the series article's "Characters" section, while characters who are really only primarily associated with one game can logically be redirected there. I hate having to play devil's advocate with this article, but unless some massive character-focused Kirby renaissance comes around, I doubt this article will ever meet notability thresholds.

Keep
WP:CSC states that one potential criteria for a list is: "Every entry in the list fails the notability criteria. These lists are created explicitly because most or all of the listed items do not warrant independent articles: for example, List of Dilbert characters or List of paracetamol brand names." That is precisely what this list is and the characters have enough coverage to not merit a merge. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Huh, seems I missed that while looking over the criteria. Will withdraw this per the fact of policy guidelines. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
