Lansing Family

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails any notability, it has not real world information, it's just a list of members of a fictional family. Orphan as well. Prod was rejected by anonymous IP account. Magioladitis (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: For whoever closes this, I moved the page to Lansing family as I don't see a need for "familiy" to be capitalized.--Rockfang (talk) 00:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect both versions to List of General Hospital characters.B.Wind (talk) 04:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article doesn't contain any information than just some names of fictional characters and fails notability as well. -- nips (talk) 23:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep I think this is an excellent way to organize the  characters from notable fictions. Organizational questions like this are not questions for afd--they'rejust questions of how to write up the material. I'd suggest taking the opportunity of having this, to merge in some of the characters. And then do likewqise more generally. DGG (talk) 03:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete: Wikipedia tries to be an encyclopaedia, not a TV magazine, and I see not even 1 encyclopaedic sentence in the whole "article". Could you imagine it in Britannica? I'd also just leave a redirect to List of General Hospital characters.--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 06:52, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - General hospital is a huge, notable subject. While the above talks about the need to be an encyclopaedia, let's not forget that The Soap Opera Encyclopedia is also an encyclopaedia; we strive to be the best encyclopaedia we can be, not merely a fairly useless general purpose encyclopaedia.

 * Delete. I don't see what's in here that's not already in List_of_General_Hospital_characters. This article is just a short sublist. VG &#x260E; 13:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * keep per DGG and and Wily. JoshuaZ (talk) 18:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm all for fiction on Wikipedia, but there's so little context to be had here. Wizardman  19:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
