The result was   Merge into a character list, e.g. List of Hannah Montana characters. The Lilly Truscott character may be revisited later at editorial discretion if no sources can be found. Since I am not sure about the target, I won't perform the merge myself. Tikiwont (talk) 09:40, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable fictional characters, no third party sources. Sufficient info in the Hannah article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 05:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Merge as per Starblind. Edward321 (talk) 14:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge 'em into one big characters article. It's a quite notable show, but these particular articles seem to go into quite a bit more detail than is encyclopedic and in some cases verges on trivial.  Rolling them up as one article would keep them at reasonable length while retaining any important info.    Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete indiscriminate collection of in-world information. Does not indicate real-world significance or notability (except in the Trivia section which is, well, trivia.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge as above. These are significant characters on a hit television show of major importance.  (For example, "Lilly Truscott" has appeared in 51 of 52 episodes so far, according to IMDB.)    The claim "no third-party sources" is laughable, since a trivial IMDB or Google search would have verified that the characters exist.  If the articles contain unverifiable assertions, those assertions can be trimmed; it is not a reason to delete the articles. -- Dominus (talk) 20:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I see no reason to delete this article regarding a fictional character considering how many other such articles exist relating to other shows.Andy Johnston (talk) 16:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Lilly Truscott, and merge the others into a List of Hannah Montana characters or similar. Stifle (talk) 10:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Lilly Truscott survived a past nomination -- ratarsed (talk) 14:56, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or delete as all in-world information. A  ni  Mate  01:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge all into a separate characters article (not into the main Hannah Montana article), except perhaps Lilly, who is the second most important character in the show and might merit an individual article (third party refs would be nice in that case).
