This is insufficient to pass WP:NOTE for a fictional subject. The article is just a recompiled a plot summary with a possibility of containing original research in the form of synthesis of primary sources.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the exact same reasons:

:{{la|ARCAM Private Army}}

:{{la|Spriggans}}

:{{la|Trident Corporation}}

:{{la|COSMOS (Spriggan)}}

:{{la|List of minor Spriggan organizations}}

• Should they be noted in the main page? Only probable reason is Spriggan never got much momentum besides Europe and parts of Asia. Ominae (talk) 16:30, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

:*Comment They are already briefly covered in the main article, so there is nothing to merge. And even that coverage may not be necessary. —Farix (t | c) 16:59, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

• Delete - Fails WP:N. – allen四names 10:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

• Comment - Spriggans, at the least, strikes me as a viable search term and worth redirecting instead. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:24, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
• Perhaps as a redirect to Spriggan as its plural form. —Farix (t | c) 18:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
• I agree. Ominae (talk) 22:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
• Ja. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• These do not pass WP:N. Coverage in the main article is sufficient for a general reader's understanding of the work, so merge is not necessary. As discussed above, redirect Spriggans to Spriggan as a plausible search term, delete ARCAM Private Army, Trident Corporation, COSMOS (Spriggan), and List of minor Spriggan organizations. I am waffling on ARCAM Corporation, as there are hints it is tightly enough associated with the work as to be a possible search term. As such, because there is doubt, it's best to go with inclusivity and redirect (rather than delete) to Spriggan. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Keep/merge Tho we are meant for a general reader, that general reader will be one with a special interest in quite a variety of things, , and anything short of the very full detail of a fansite is appropriate. The default should me to merge articles such as this, and the sort of article that should be kept and merged to , is the List of minor organizations. Trying to delete a combination article like that isa desire not justto cut back on inappropriate detail, but remove even basic idenitification information. DGG ( talk ) 01:56, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
• Merge with Spriggan (manga). The information could be relevant and useful within the series, but it's too limited for its own article. Howan (talk) 03:19, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
• Merge to Spriggan (manga). Edward321 (talk) 15:03, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
• :And exactly what should be merged? Because I don't think there is anything to merge as the main article already contains the necessary information about these fictional organizations, though it should be presented inside the plot summary. —Farix (t | c) 21:11, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
