A character from Star Wars video game and later, few novels and such. Reception is based on listicles ("chosen by IGN as the 12th greatest Star Wars character") and blog-like churnalism comments ("non-notable chournalist X listed Revan as one of the Star Wars character that she wanted in Soulcalibur, another listed the character as one of his favourite Star Wars video game characters", etc.). My BEFORE shows little - yes, he appears in titles of some chournalist media, and some toys including LEGO, related to him, got some niche reviews. My BEFORE shows little - a few passing mentions in scholarly literature that I found do not seem to meet
WP:SIGCOV and that do not go beyond the plot summary. Per
WP:ATD-R, I suggest redirecting this entry to either to some list of SW characters of the game he is the main character of (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Merge Unless better sources are found. The ones Dream Focus is tossing up above after honestly more speculative than anything and not really discussing the character. If anything they can be attributed more to the game than the guy itself. While I'm not opposed to using Valnet for notability, those are just too weak to do the job.--

Merge per the lack of sourcing outlined in nomination. The sole keep vote mostly cites sources deemed unreliable or low quality per consensus at
WP:VG/S. What remains isn't enough to construct an article around.

Merge this AFD is actually an excellent study in churnalism. Some characters become notable beyond the series, but almost all of these lists mention Revan within the series. That's a textbook example of something that isn't notable outside of the fiction it came from, and belongs in the main article. The reception of the game can have a note about how a few people liked the character, and that would be the proper way to cover this.
