Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable list, and more importantly, it's between the list and the prompt, there is only one line in the entire article that isn't copied material. Possibly could have the top 10 merged if there's a collection of similar lists, but I don't know of one.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  17:58, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable and unsourced. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 00:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * How can it be unsourced? The subject of the article is a source. postdlf (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * After doing some searching, I found this USA Today article and this U~T San Diego article, although I'm not sure if that's enough for notability. For right now, I'm going with weak delete, since everything else I could find was forum posts, games based off of the special, and the like. Lugia2453 (talk) 00:43, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

 * If kept, the list should be blanked as a copyvio (except for maybe an accounting of the top five or so) as their list is not factual but is instead creative in its selection and arrangement. The question for the article as a whole is whether the five-part TV special is notable; the TV character list is the subject or content of that special. postdlf (talk) 01:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete as a copy vio. Not sure what you'd write about the list if you couldn't just reproduce the whole thing. That being said, there are no reliable third party sources that write about this list, making it impossible to WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
