The article has been redirected several times over the last year but is reinstated without any attempt to find secondary sources for its contents. The topic lacks
280:: The whole point of character articles in the first place is to avoid redundancy in having to introduce the characters in every single piece of media (this series in particular covering three video games and two anime series). At the very least, it's more neccessary than individual articles for each of the soundtracks.
335:- Actually, contrary to the nominator's statement, sourcing for the article has significantly improved since the article was first redirected. However, my impression was always that the PaRappa cast are not notable outside of the individual games, and I see nothing here to really indicate otherwise.--

Right now, it's almost entirely in-universe fictional content, sourced to the instruction manuals of the games. You're right in the fact that it shouldn't be in the parent articles, but wrong in thinking there's a defense in there for keeping it in a stand-alone article. I don't have a stance yet

dug for sources, I wonder if maybe it could be possible to write an article about
Parappa himself - he's a bit more of an iconic "90's PlayStation" character who has appeared in a number of games. But not these other 50-odd rando background characters.

Parappa himself as that would be interesting to see, but I agree with the above comments about this list's deletion.
