Renominating; unnecessary in-universe mostly WP:OR article that is not notable on its own and fails WP:Plot#Not. This is an excessively detailed list of cards from the series that is already sufficiently (and in some ways better) covered by the Clow Cards article.

I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. The appearances of each card are clearly demonstrated in the images. So that's not WP:OR. Their personalities and powers are clearly documented in the sources listed at the bottom of the page, so that's not WP:OR either, and stating which episodes each card appeared in exempt from WP:OR as a reference to an episode is self referencing (for example, "in episode 29, X happened" clearly references itself to a specific episode). WP:Plot#Not also does not apply as this page is dealing with characters in a show, not the show's plot.
Strong Keep It is fully understandable that you might be unaware of this franchise or the significance that the Clow cards have to it, so I will give you some details.
The clow cards are the linchpin device around which the Cardcaptor Sakura franchise is written, without them there is no franchise.
Each card is a recurring character in its own right. They have their own distinctive personality, powers and appearance which have been laid down in detail by their creators Clamp. These are all clearly laid down in Nakayoshi in which the Manga was originally serialized and in the Clamp fortune telling book. The authors have been interviewed multiple times and have included extra panels explaining details out of universe and have written numerous out of universe guides and publications (for example, art books I-III which are specifically named in the references).
The Clows Cards appeared as characters in 12 Manga volumes running across 2 story arc, they were then mirrored to an Anime that ran for 3 seasons with no breaks and stared in 2 movies. All of which have sold internationally. On top of this they have been the subject of computer games across 7 computer platforms. While they are not individually notable enough to have their own page, they are more than notable enough to have a collective page.
