List of Code Lyoko characters

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has no factual content whatsoever. Written entirely in-universe and has a citation to YouTube. The article is about a TV Show Code Lyoko, which has recently declined from its popular status. -Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 20:46, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Can be fixed through regular editing. Notable TV shows are normally entitled to a character list article like this. Jclemens (talk) 01:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. So the question is is this a notable TV Show? ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 01:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * A currently running cartoon with 5 seasons and a long run on Cartoon Network? Definitely notable. I still think the character list needs to be killed with fire, as cartoons are generally less likely to muster up enough out-of-universe information to warrant a character sheet.

 * I also want to say that "regular editing" is something this article lacks. Also, If you look at it, the only factual information is information about the voice actor. Nothing else. Regular editing cannot fix this article because there is little to no known factual information. The only way would be to completely rewrite it with more information on hand, which is far from "regular editing." Character lists like this from notable tv shows are definitely considerable. But not all are notable. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 04:25, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep All notable shows have a side article to list their characters, and another to list their episodes. We need to stop having things like this go to AFD all the time, and instead just pass a guideline to accept or deny them all once and for all.   D r e a m Focus  07:02, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, agreed. A policy under the Wikipedia namespace would be wonderful for this situation. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 15:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Such long-running shows should have separate character lists to (1) not overwhelm the main article and (2) to discourage the creation of stand-alone character articles. The current quality status of the page does not concern me. – sgeureka t•c 10:03, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sgeureka. Rlendog (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
