Supporting video game character that fails GNG. Reception is a big list of listicles ("Empire listed HK-47 as the 43rd greatest video game character" etc.), and two niche awards. Game Developers Choice Awards is notable but this character just won the small "Original Game Character of the Year" category that was awarded for just for years, and the other award, Computer Gaming World's 2003 "NPC of the Year" , is apparently so niche it is not even mentioned in CGWs' article. And both awards are sourced to primary sources, indicating that this character receiving said awards wasn't noticed outside press releases. There's no analysis nor information why this character won said awards (the source for the first award doesn't contain that informatin, the second press release just states the editors found him memorable, and even mispells his name as HK-41). The best WP:ATD-R I can think of would be to redirect (perhaps merge a bit) to that character's article in the game they appeared in.

- There's also coverage in a Boss Fight Books work that has interviews with developers, but is a secondary source: [3]
- Keep Per WP:NEXIST. Besides the aforementioned sources, there is also a GamesRadar+ piece, a PCGamesN piece and a Vice piece on the droid. He is a very notable character by video game standards. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
