Article was previously redirected and restored without discussion. It still fails notability criteria as a sub-aspect of the Dragon Ball series and is solely referenced to the Dragon Ball manga. If the article is redirected again it should also be Protected to prevent recreation. _{ZXCVBNM ( TALK)} 11:26, 1 October 2019 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to Dragon Ball and provide indefinite protection for the redirect. In all due respect, this could have been handled through a revert and a request at WP:RFP. No need to drag this out for a week.... - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 16:39, 1 October 2019 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to Dragon Ball or List of Dragon Ball characters and salt as above. This is a term specific to the franchise and has not had any extensive use outside of it. Compare with Namekian which redirects to the List of Dragon Ball characters AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 19:02, 1 October 2019 (UTC) reply
• Merge a little bit of content into one of these targets and make the redirect go to specified section... No arguments against previous AfD regarding the notability, but the reason for restoration provided here [1] is not entirely unreasonable. At least a few steps should be taken in order to not WP:R#ASTONISH people when they arrive. I believe the Namekian example provided by AngusWOOF is actually a much more elegant solution than the previous target here going to a franchise page. Perhaps merging to that list of characters page is even a better solution if the franchise page is to be reserved for pointing at other, clearer products of the franchise. I support redirect protection as well. - 2pou ( talk) 20:03, 3 October 2019 (UTC) reply
