List of Luke Cage and Iron Fist supporting characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This seem to fail WP:LISTN with primary references only. BEFORE does not show anything helpful, worse - who decides who is a "supporting character"? Supporting what? This list includes both allies and enemiess, it is effectively a List of Luke Cage and Iron First minor characters? Or actually, maybe this intended to be a List of Luke Cage and Iron First characters in general? And then there is the issue of why this page is limited to just those two characters, and on the otherhand, why shouldn't it be split into one for each? Lot's of ORish fancruft with this one. Still, needs proper references if this is to be salvaged after a rename. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:17, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Well, I can tell you that the reason this page is "limited to just these characters" is due to Power Man and Iron Fist and variations of that series, which teamed them up as a duo, and introduced supporting characters for the duo. BD2412  T 14:02, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per WP:DELREASON, WP:NOTCLEANUP, and the reasons outline at Articles for deletion/List of Iron Man supporting characters. This is not an AFD issue and it honestly feels like the nominator is just looking for stuff to nominate.  Dark knight  2149  19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments, and per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 19:39, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is similar to the current discussion on List of Iron Man supporting characters. This kind of "list of characters" page is usually the merge target when a character's article is deleted through AfD. Deleting the list is not good practice. The nominator is suggesting changes to the title and content, or a possible merge. That discussion and work should be done through talk page discussions and/or a proposed merge, not at AfD. — Toughpigs (talk) 19:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This nominator seems to be on an indiscriminate and bad faith prompted deletion spree on similar pages. I think all their deletions should be closed honestly as they have likely done no actual BEFORE.★Trekker (talk) 19:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename would we still be having this discussion if this were List of Luke Cage and Iron Fist characters? It's common for most series to have lists of characters, and everything else can be resolved through editing. Archrogue (talk) 19:38, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
