List of Hanna-Barbera characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list could have an endless amount of characters. I think the nav template does a better job of what this article intended. Paper Luigi T • C 00:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep but change to a List of List of HB Characters, pointing to the respective shows where the characters come from (or if those shows have lists, those lists). A Navbox is absolutely not suited for this type of information. --M ASEM (t) 00:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep List needs thought about how best to present information (e.g. per Masem's proposal), but it's not going to get that if it's deleted. Also, a list of characters allows inclusion of info such as voice actor, date of first appearance, etc, that can't fit in a template. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:55, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep You don't delete something because you like the information in a different format better. This is a perfectly decent Wikipedia list, showing all the notable characters from the Hanna Barbera shows, many of them having blue links to their own Wikipedia article even.

 * Keep - There's a pop culture continuum running from that which is pure fancruft to that which is truly encyclopedic. This tends to the latter, owing to the ubiquity and cultural impact of many of the franchises and characters on this list. Useful navigational function as a source of in-links and a useful quick reference for dates. Carrite (talk) 17:56, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
