List of Humanx Commonwealth characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fictional characters. Fancruft, fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTPLOT. No indications of any reliable secondary sources treating these characters. A search reveals none. Any sourceable information that is not only plot summary should be at the series article, Humanx Commonwealth, itself probably a borderline case. Compare Articles for deletion/List of Humanx Commonwealth races.  Sandstein  16:35, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Looks like folks are all over the board here. A few more thoughts would be great. Thanks everyone for participating and assuming good faith!
 * KEEP Mentioning an unrelated AFD is pointless. All notable fictional series have character lists.  AFDs of years past were to merge all the contents from most of the related character articles into this one.  This is a notable book series.  Just like List of Dune characters, List of Xanth characters, or any of the many others at Lists of characters in a fictional work.   D r e a m Focus  17:12, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even ignoring the conversation about character lists, this is bare bones and the main article is bare bones. There's no need for this to exist separately. The current list is pretty bad looking, so TNT over redirecting seems like the best until someone can give the care the series needs. TTN (talk) 17:30, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Humanx Commonwealth or delete. Humanx Commonwealth is a big INUNIVERSE mess, but might be salvagable if it was refocused to be about the series rather than the fictional entity. Until that entity demonstrates its own notability (I am not fully sure), there is no reason for even more in-universe subarticles. – sgeureka t•c 22:20, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 16:22, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mostly in-universe plot details, none of which is worth porting over to the main article, which itself is in need of an overhaul per sgeureka. (Also, organizations are not characters.) Clarityfiend (talk) 19:48, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, utterly fails WP:LISTN, as it contains not a single reference, never mind a reliable secondary one that discusses the characters as a group. The article also fails WP:PLOT, as it contains entirely in-universe information, which also means there is nothing to merge. As none of the listed characters have articles, it serves no navigational purpose. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
