Tom Merchant

Article is entirely based upon one non-noteable individual (a video game merchant). Furthermore, the name "Tom Merchant" does not appear in any official RE4 documentation and appears to be Original Research. Thirdly, the base text itself contains numerous errors. While someone proposed merging it with the base RE4 article, the "Tom Merchant" text is so inaccurate that to add this section to said article would not benefit it.

I'm not quite sure why you relisted this. It's quite obvious that the entire article should be deleted- there's never been any evidence that the merchant in RE4 is named Tom, there's no noteability for this character (he's just a merchant in a video game, out of thousands of merchants in video games), the list of quotes attributed to him is full of errors and none of the article follows the manual of style.
