 * Delete Completely unsourced, bloated list. Franklin (TV series) already has a list of main, reocurring and minor characters, so having a list for every character who appeared in one episode is completely unneeded. Material Works  (talk) 00:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * , per the relevant guideline, "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". Your nomination, by contrast, focuses on only the state of the article. Given that the AfD guidelines provide a checklist of steps to carry out before nominating an article, what steps did you take to assess the notability of this particular topic before nominating the article for deletion? Moreover, given that you proposed deleting seven articles (1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7) with nearly identical rationales within the span of just 10 minutes (one of which has already been closed as a speedy keep), what pre-nomination steps could you have even taken in that time? --Usernameunique (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete - As mentioned by MaterialWorks, Franklin (TV series) already includes a section for the main characters, which it appears that this overly long list was originally excised from. Outside of those main characters, the remainder of the characters listed here are all very minor, with many only appearing in a single episode of the TV series. There is no sourced content and nothing worth merging back to any of the other articles on the franchise. Rorshacma (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Previous users have mentioned that while the show may be notable, this list isn't notable enough to be a stand-alone article, especially since a list of main characters is already included in Franklin (TV series) This list also includes no proper sourcing or citations.

 * Redirect to Franklin (TV series). Fails LISTN, no SIGCOV from RS.  // Timothy :: talk  11:12, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - no strong enough reason for a separate article for the characters. I'm not opposed to a redirect. Rkieferbaum (talk) 13:40, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
