John Boy & Billy characters

 * — (View AfD)

This is a long list of every character that has ever been played on the John Boy and Billy radio show in North Caroline. It's too long to merge into the main article, so I copied the first couple characters onto the main article page. The rest can go. This is of interest to no one except die-hard fans who presumably already know each character's catchphrases. Tocharianne 04:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Any character of this show that is notable and passes requirements and guidelines should have their own article or mention in the parent article. If such a need arises then, with full justification, create a List of John Boy & Billy characters, but by no means should an article like this be created in lieu of a list. wtfunkymonkey 05:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a very good example of Fancruft. As with most cruft we run into problems with Verifiability and having Third party sources to assert notability. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information which this article seems to violate, in my opinion, since it contains poorly formatted, unnecessary, non-notable, information about non-notable characters.
 * Delete appears to violate WP:NOR. Sources? Guy (Help!) 10:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to Fancruft/Example. Else delete, since it doesn't belong as an article. MER-C 10:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete, pure fancruft, nothing can be salvaged from this article. Terence Ong 16:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
