This article fails WP:GNG. Though I’m not sure if this article about the titular protagonist from the fourth Ace Attorney video game series would be worthy enough to be saved if it were to be improved through the paragraph about the character in the List of Ace Attorney characters may be good enough to describe this character though there was another article about Apollo that was redirected to the list of characters back in 2016.

• Weak delete. As written, fails WP:NFICTION and is pure WP:PLOT. Japanese article is no better, it has only one source to [1](Famitsu) which does not appear to be particularly in-depth, although might be reliable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Currently lacks any reception information whatsoever. TTN (talk) 20:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to his section in List of Ace Attorney characters and protect against recreation if necessary, as failing GNG._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:36, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect back to the series character list again. I have looked for sources for the major characters in this series before, and most of them, Apollo included, just do not meet GNG - which is reflected in the sources cited in the article. Things could very well change in the future if he keeps being a major character in any potential future games, but as it stands, he does not have enough coverage in RSs to warrant a stand-alone article.--Alexandra^IDV 11:04, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as per Zxcvbnm and Alexandra, and salt. -- ferret (talk) 17:30, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect And salt. No independent notability. Additionally, the original creator had serious issues with not understanding our notability concept, and has since been indeffed, so it’s not likely they had some sort of angle we’re unaware of either.
