List of Batman television series characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This list is a back-fill construction made from full sections of the articles it points to. There is little or no attempt to summarize the information from those articles, it is just copied and pasted in place. J Greb (talk) 02:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep This is a valid list in the context of WP:LIST and WP:CLN. Could it be improved? YES! but ask yourself, if all those other articles did nto exist, would the nominator's rationale hold water. No. The fact that the list's contents are derived from other article's content is not a reason for deletion. If the entries are valid and can be sourced, this is a valid list. This list needs improvement, not deletion.--Mike Cline (talk) 01:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete This is another article just reshuffling the contents of "other media" sections into larger articles. The content should be on the relevant character's page and the characters linked from the specific TV series articles. This is just redundant replication of existing data.

 * Also worth bearing in mind this AfD where a swathe of similar film-related articles were deleted. (Emperor (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC))

 * Keep useful list of characters appearing across multiple episodes. Artw (talk) 00:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Along the lines of this list - List of Batman television series cast members - which seems to handle it better? - J Greb (talk) 00:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * And it does so in an out-of-universe manner. Why can't the article currently up for AfD be redirected there? It links through to actor and character in a more original and useful way (there is no chunk of text dropped in from another article). (Emperor (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC))


 * Keep The need is improvement not deletion.--Marcus Brute (talk) 06:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
