Article appears to miss the boat on both the
WP:NOTPLOT and the
WP:GNG dimensions. It is entirely a plot regurgitation with but three sources to its name. Efforts to redirect it have been unsuccessful.

Delete - per
WP:GNG and
WP:NOTPLOT. The sole editor in favor of keeping it so far has been operating over invalid reasoning.

Delete - per above arguments and policies. I have no idea how anybody could argue this article belongs here in its current state. It's just a massive mess of fictional and non-notable information with basically no sources. ~

Delete and create redirect to
Yakuza (series)#Characters - there just doesn't seem to be enough RS coverage of the characters independently of the games to warrant a separate article.--

If there is
significant coverage in multiple
reliable,
independent sources. (
?), it should be first demonstrated by expanding
Yakuza (series)#Characters appropriately and only
splitting out when warranted by length or depth of coverage. In the absence of that evidence, TNT sounds appropriate. No objections to a merger or redirect, as the article was before it was recently reverted. czar 04:45, 3 September 2017 (UTC)reply
Redirect per Czar's January edit. Full protect page now or later if reversion back to a full article persists. If the topic (NOTE: "Characters of the Yakuza series", not "Yakuza series") can be demonstrated to meet GNG in the future then the current article and article history could be helpful. If not, then no harm done with a redirect. -

Delete and perhaps early close this? It has a total of four references. It's clear that this is a trivial, in-universe list. It retells the plot from each character, without any substantial information that would merit its own article, like creation, development and reception.
