Redirect to Gunslinger Girl was disputed, but no actual reason was given besides "should be discussed". My edit summary: "no justification for this at all: minor manga whose article lacks proper secondary sourcing (it's all from ANN etc.), meaning these characters have even less encyclopedic relevance. in addition, of course, this is greatly excessive and consists solely of primary, in-universe material more suitable for Wikia". I stand by this. The only thing in there that's not a primary source is note 25, " Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes do a similar exercise in The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter"--which is editorial commentary. The main article is already in very bad shape, with so few secondary sources that one may well question what encyclopedic justification a derivative article (full of original research, character analysis, and just outright trivia) for a list of characters has. Now, if AngusWOOF wants to merge some information to the main articles (one can argue that voicing information is relevant--but that's not sourced either), they're welcome to do that, but our encyclopedia doesn't need 54k of trivial information that is of relevance only to the fans.
