List of Nickelodeon Characters
As far as I am aware, there is no Nickelodeon Show, so this is a list of characters who appear in several different programs on the Nickelodeon (TV channel). I see no point to such a list. Delete.-Mr Adequate 03:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary list, characters can be found by going to individual show articles -- Astrokey44 |talk 12:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Categorize. The whole point of this thing is to have a list of all the characters without the need to go through 20+ articles by hand. It's not an indiscriminate list, they're related by the TV channel. Still, I don't see how this list could have any info other than what would be in a category. (And for the record, I like lists a lot, so I try to find reasons to keep them) - Mgm|(talk) 12:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as is. A category would not allow the subdivision by television show, nor would it allow the redlinks, which indicates potential future articles, while not limiting the list to only those characters that have their own article. Turnstep 16:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Turnstep. -- JJay 02:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete or Categorise. 1. Categories allow subcategories as subdivision.  2. All the redlinks does is encourage Nickcruft.  Read WP:FICT for our guideline regarding lists of characters in fiction in Wikipedia, which this is. --Perfecto  20:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable list of fictional characters. Nothing on the page says how these characters are connected. Atrian 04:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Perfecto's arguments. —Cleared as filed. 23:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
