List of Bionicle characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Originally proposed for deletion with the rationale "56 kilobytes of nothing but in-universe plot information. Sourced only to the original franchise." Proposal for deletion contested with the comment "Not saying this deserves to be kept or deleted (I haven't really looked into it enough to make the assessment) but given the size and scope of this page I think if it's going to go, there should at least be an AFD discussion about it..." I still don't think we need an article consisting of nothing but 56 kilobytes of in-universe plot information. Delete. J I P &#124; Talk 16:38, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - it’s a WP:TNT situation at best - it’s a lengthy, 99% unsourced article that’s focused far too much on fictional, in-universe details. Stuff like this belongs on Wikia, not Wikipedia. Sergecross73   msg me  18:32, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:ALLPLOT. Better off on FANDOM than Wikipedia, and fails WP:LISTN.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:17, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Overly in-depth fan article. If there needs to be a character list, it should be a small, focused list in the main article. TTN (talk) 22:35, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
 * KEEP Character lists are valid spinoff articles from the main article for the series.  D r e a m Focus  17:48, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, this gargantuan amount of fancruft should not be on Wikipedia, so it being a split is not a reason to keep. The article itself fails WP:PLOT and WP:LISTN. Devonian Wombat (talk) 00:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 22:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Dream Focus. In addition I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of trimming in this article. There are other good solutions to the problem raised by nom. gidonb (talk) 12:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
