 * Vote closed. Result: delete (four votes to delete (one implicit), two votes to merge non-empty articles). After Jeffq's speedy deletions, the three remaining pages were also contentless. —LrdChaos (talk) 03:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all, unless valid quotes are added. ~ UDScott 20:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all, unless valid quotes are added. If quotes are added for any of the Castlevania titles, they should probably be merged into the single Castlevania page. &mdash;LrdChaos 21:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all. - InvisibleSun 00:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all non-empty articles into Castlevania (series) and create a redirect from Castlevania and any titles with articles in WP to this article. This is what I mean about video game articles. Enthusiasts like our relatively new editor Jaeden, whose wish to create quote articles is otherwise admirable, spend too much time creating unnecessary infrastructure for games that in many cases would likely violate copyrights as they become substantial. There is no need for a quote article on every single video game, especially when a focused effort on pithy quotes from each series would better serve Wikiquote's interests. I have speedy-deleted the majority of these articles, whose sole original content was the text "This is a stub. Please add some stuff." and a category tag. If we merge what's left into a single article, with headings for each game, we might actually have a suitable framework for adding a select set of pithy quotes from the series. The redirects would only be necessary for titles that have WP articles because (A) each WP article could have a WQ box link, and (B) any other title, when entered into the Search box, should reveal the single resulting article when no actual title is found. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've also added mergeto tags to Castlevania Chronicles (see WQ:VFD), Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and the category created for all these articles, Category:Castlevania (series), which has some potentially useful intro material. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge non-empty articles per Jeffq. This is pretty much the same thing that happened to The Legend of Zelda series article, with Jaeden creating stubs for different titles in the series. I've kept a couple of those articles intact as they're more extensive than most of the other games, but for this case, there aren't enough quotes for each game supplied right now to warrant separate articles. When more quotes are added to their respective sections on the series page, then we can consider making separate articles for each game. -- Robert 04:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
