Unsourced fictographies and fancruft. Notability not met. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 23:48, 9 August 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Again, divided between Keeps and Redirects. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:23, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements, Television, Lists,  and England. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 23:48, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Excessively detailed, but the main characters are culturally important in this little corner of the world. Doug butler (talk) 06:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Then it shouldn't be a problem finding plenty of sources to demonstrate their real-world impact and notability as per WP:WAF. Otherwise, this becomes a fan tribute site, which WP is not. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 17:32, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Agreed on both counts. Rillington (talk) 13:28, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Keeping_Up_Appearances. Saying WP:ITSIMPORTANT is not a very convincing argument. This is a poorly referenced fancrufty plot summary. A description of the main characters would be good in the linked-to section of the main article, and a short summary of this fancrufty list could be merged there. Keeping this as a stand-alone article, however, would go against WP:GNG/WP:NLIST/WP:FANCRUFT/etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:27, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the main article. The core characters there should have a couple sentences each, but I'm not really sure if any of the content is really worth merging. Might be best to just leave it blank and let someone fill it in later. There is nothing showing this topic meets GNG or LISTN. It doesn't show that these are necessary, contextually relevant plot details that would not be able to fit in the main article. It's just bloat for the sake of bloat. TTN (talk) 13:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect per Piotrus. Article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NLIST due to the absence of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Jontesta (talk) 18:58, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to Keeping Up Appearances - Excessive, overly detailed, in-universe plot summaries without a single reliable source. While the main article could probably use a few sentences of description added to the list of central characters already included there, the complete lack of sources or citations in this list means I can not advocate a Merge. But, a Redirect will preserve the history of this list if someone thinks it may be useful for any kind of expansion in the main article. Rorshacma (talk) 23:37, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, because with most Britcoms, we've usually got the three pages (the show itself, the characters, and the episode list). Why should all of this be compressed into a single page? And also, because of the cultural importance. 87.254.73.92 (talk) 19:40, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Anything to add that isn't WP:PPOV? Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 03:59, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. This is not of universal importance by any means even in England.  RobinCarmody (talk) 21:44, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep One of the iconic shows of its era. It had an extensive cast that should be described in a list like this. It just needs trimming and citation, but the show certainly calls for a separate character list. Thriley (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What's covered here that isn't covered on the main article? I loved this show too, but that doesn't mean it "deserves" an extra article just because WP:ITSIMPORTANT. That's what this site is for. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 18:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge with the Cast section of the main Keeping Up Appearances article, but crop the list down to the main and recurring characters already listed there and add character descriptions.--TommyBoy (talk) 20:05, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. I would agree to merging but has anyone noticed the very large amount of unsourced material? I added an original research tag as it would not be possible to check the article with content severely lacking reliable independent sources and inline citations. --  Otr500 (talk) 00:04, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Ridiculous that this has been nominated, find sources don’t erase history.RobynRhi (talk) 10:55, 20 August 2022 (UTC) strike sock --  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: Hyacinth Bucket is certainly notable enough for her own page. StAnselm (talk) 15:23, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ StAnselm (talk) 18:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Redirect Not a single reliable independent source and I'm just not seeing how this meets Wikipedia's policies. Someone is making a decent effort to salvage the main character Hyacinth Bucket and this can be redirected there. Jontesta (talk) 21:25, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
