Just like other GA article

• Merge to Characters of Final Fantasy XII#Vaan. Basically all of his reception is pulled from reviews rather than talking directly about Vaan as a character. Due to the trivial coverage, he is best discussed as part of a group of characters. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:07, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. The article presently has issues, but from minor searching, I've found some sources, including this: [2] - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 10:56, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Reception is not the only possible source of SIGCOV. Outlets reporting on development info is an indication that the outlet considers that information noteworthy. Axem Titanium (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Interviews from developers are primary. They do not in fact count towards

  Interviews are not inherently primary sources, I made this point to you in a previous AfD. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:26, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Nm I'm a moron - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 17:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I disagree that the sources cited only contain passing mentions about the character. If so, there would have been insufficient content to write a good article about this character, which is not the case here. Axem Titanium made a good point about development info, as did Cukie Gherkin about the nature of interviews. Haleth (talk) 15:00, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Withdraw I think it now passes, barely. So, I decided to withdraw instead.

  Again, please refrain from withdrawing if there is still dissent. See

  WP:SNOW keep situations and when there is very clearly demonstrated evidence of notability that no one disagrees with. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:23, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

Striked, I feel now that the discussion should be continued to gather more info and possibly kore sources.
