Impedimenta

Would you give Impedimenta her own article? --APclark 11:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not, although the target List of Asterix characters#Impedimanta has plenty of material and references for one. Andrewa (talk) 03:20, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vitalstatistix → Vitalstatistix (disambiguation) – Primary redirect (with possibilities) to a section (List of Asterix characters#Vitalstatistix), that section being about 2000 words long and well referenced. The character is the primary topic by both usage and long-term significance over the only other meaning, a women's theatre company based in Port Adelaide, South Australia which has a great deal of web presence but this is understandable given their advocacy activities.

Note: this move request was transferred from Talk:Vitalstatistix (character) because Vitalstatistix (character) is a redirect, which is ineligible to be a current title in a move request. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 13:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: the character has had about 34 times the traffic of the organisation over the past year. YorkshireExpat (talk) 10:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There doesn't seem to be a need for a disambiguation page as there are only two entries. Just change Vitalstatistix back to a redirect and add a hatnote for the arts organisation. JIP | Talk 13:44, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Two-entry dabpages are used when there is no primary topic. See WP:TWODABS. 162 etc. (talk) 18:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But is there no PT? By which criteria? Andrewa (talk) 09:06, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and delete the dab per WP:ONEOTHER—blindlynx 15:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The Asterix minor character is notable, but a primary topic is a stretch here. The "2000 words" mostly consist of the character's name in other translations of Asterix; this should probably be deleted altogether (List of Asterix characters overall is very long and crufty and could use a good trim.) 162 etc. (talk) 18:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any policy that supports your proposed removal of this material? It is verifiable, NPOV and of interest. The fact that you find it crufty isn't a good reason IMO. I had a look at Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE and it doesn't fit any of the four sections there. Andrewa (talk) 21:00, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CRUFT is an essay, not a policy, but it does bring up good points about article quality when writing about works of fiction.

I'll note that the only cited source in the translations paragraph is this. After clicking around that site, I could not find any information on the Vitalstatistix character. So at the very least, this requires some kind of proper fact-checking and citations.

I'll leave it at that, since RM discussions are about article titles, not content. 162 etc. (talk) 01:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Worth mentioning that's a Dutch site, and Vitalstatistix appears to be known as Heroïx in Dutch. YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Sadly there isn't enough traffic for WikiNav to work here, but it's clear that the character is the primary topic. Toadspike [Talk] 14:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
