- Strong Delete - The article is a weak attempt at being a game guide, and not a very well written one at that. It is essentially subjective, opinionated commentary - and as such is WP:OR - best suited to a fan page (e.g. "Pandora's Guardian: A 20 foot tall undead Minotaur wearing nearly impenetrable armor. It guards the tomb of the Architect's son in the segment of the Temple of Pandora dedicated to Hades. It was placed there as a final test to anyone who had made it that far through the temple in an attempt to claim Pandora's Box. Kratos kills it by first chipping away its armor and then firing the ballista at it, impaling it to a door".)
It fails both WP:V and WP:NOT#IINFO, and is certainly not encyclopedia standard. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 03:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Let the page stay. You said start a fan page for it and this is what I had to come up with. Too bad we can't merge any enemy info with the God of War series page. Rtkat3 (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- By your own admission it is a fan page. This is fine, but it is not suitable for Wikipedia. You need to create your own page and add the information there. Feel free to use the links posted above to examine guidelines if it helps you to understand why the article is inappropriate.

- Transwiki as needs be and delete - Not encyclopedic. Far too much focus on a subject with no notability. OSborn arfcontribs. 01:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOT#GUIDE. —chaos5023 (talk) 01:21, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to List of God of War characters. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 04:59, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't merge as material is substandard to begin with and fails all the above mentioned tests. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 10:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A merge need not merge the entire corpus of the article being merged, it could just take a few lines condensed from the former article. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 05:13, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately I can't see anything worth keeping, not even " a few lines" as it is all fancruft. Best suited to a fan page elsewhere. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 05:43, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Is not built from secondary sources, does not explain how the topic is notable, as is not in accordance with our guidelines for fiction (WP:V, WP:N, WP:WAF). re: transwiki, fan/game guide content already extensively written about at wikia. Marasmusine (talk) 10:56, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: The content is not appropriate for Wikipedia since Wikipedia is not a video game guide. The article doesn't provide references, so the text is original research by synthesis at best. There are no reliable secondary sources that cover this list to presume that it is appropriate per the criteria of notability for stand-alone lists. The article does not provide reception or significance in the real world for the fictional characters so it is a plot-only description of a fictional work. As the list falls into what Wikipedia is not, it is not acceptable per the criteria of appropriate topics for lists. There is not even a hint that it could possibly meet the general notability guideline. There is nothing worth merging since nothing is referenced. Jfgslo (talk) 02:17, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
