This is a group nomination for articles about minor characters in Alias. While they were created in good faith, they do not satisfy the general notability guideline. Moreover, the Manual of Style for writing about fiction advises the inclusion of content from a real world perspective, which does not appear to be possible here in a comprehensive, verifiable way. The lack of coverage regarding the creation, reception, analysis, and significance of these characters from reliable, prominent sources, slips them into what Wikipedia is not—summary-only descriptions.

Merge all with List of Alias characters. Writing about Alias characters as a group is supported by works such as [1], [2], and [3], but I agree with the nominator that none of these characters merit standalone articles. --Cerebellum (talk) 03:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(nominator) Merging these sounds like a good idea to me. NTox · talk 01:40, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep since the topic is proven notable by the sources above, possibly with a recommendation to merge the contents into the list and/or expand the articles with real-world reception sections. The in-universe concern is problematic, but should be fixed with normal editing from the references provided and thus doesn't require deletion. The current navigation structure with a navbox shows that the style is in a good state, so I don't think a major reformatting is urgent; and the proposed merger couldn't be done if the articles are deleted anyway. Meanwhile, the list can be thought of as one Template:Main article that was splitted into subtopics, one for each character, if the lack of independent notability bothers someone.

Merge all into List of Alias characters. All plot (WP:NOT#PLOT), no non-trivial real-world information to establish noability (WP:N) => no basis for a stand-alone article. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all into List of Alias characters. There is nothing to establish the independent notability of each of these minor characters to justify each one having a separate article. Any relevent information from the individual articles should be rewritten and merged into the general character list. Rorshacma (talk) 17:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all to List of Alias characters. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Milo Rambaldi, Merge rest to List of Alias characters. Rambaldi's work drove the story for the entirety of the show, and the article is sufficiently detailed to warrant keeping on its own. Information such as "Known Rambaldi Artifacts" and "Rambaldi Endgame" are relevant and work here but wouldn't really fit on a list of characters. The rest are minor characters who can be merged into a single article. Frorunner9 (talk) 15:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
