Fictional women of Santa Barbara, volume 1

 * – ( View AfD View log )

These above articles could not establish notability for their [(less) notable] fictional subjects of the cancelled series Santa Barbara. Also, no real-life perspectives and other perspectives outside fictional in-universe. No references right now; TV.com and Youtube have been recently removed due to their unreliabilities as "come and go" and user-submitted. Policies of WP:SOAPS, WP:GNG, WP:FICTION, and WP:IINFO have not been fully followed. I chose the women of Capwell family as part of volume 1; who will be next in volume 2? —Gh87 (talk) 07:34, 14 October 2011 (UTC) Almost forgot: they were previously PRODded; contested with the "will edit later" comment, which struck me as invalid and contradictory. --Gh87 (talk) 07:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep: The characters should remain, as they are beneficial towards information regarding the show's history and recognizable throughout the soap world and outside of it as well. I have already included a NY Times article that references Julia Wainwright Capwell, so that character is still recognized enough to be included in contemporary news print. Bottom line, all characters should be kept.Casanova88 (talk) 03:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Reply: "Julia Wainwright Capwell" has only one citation. The rest have not.  --Gh87 (talk) 04:29, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. Such characters are obsessively documented in sources like Soap Opera Digest, and the relevant articles are surely no less encyclopedic that than the unholy array of articles on professional wrestling performers which blithely mix fact and fiction with sourcing that is less reliable and less independent.

 * Speedy Keep All There's an obvious alternative to deletion in such cases &mdash; merger into a parent article such as Santa Barbara. Please see WP:BEFORE and WP:PRESERVE. Warden (talk) 09:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * What about List of Santa Barbara cast and characters? It has characters' entries; I hope they have not been infringed from other sources. --Gh87 (talk) 15:45, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
