List of Ojamajo Doremi characters

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced for over two years, fails verifiability policy. Also listcruft and fancruft concerns. Stifle (talk) 13:43, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - A random but I think representative sample: "This is changed to a light Brooklyn accent in the English dub. She occasionally wears pigtails and dresses, which make her look younger than she is." WP:NOT. Several footnotes' content is original research. No references. --EEMIV (talk) 18:16, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - good compromise vs. individual articles. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 18:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/Merge Ideally this and List of Magical DoReMi characters should be one article. There's no need for deletion just because the page is horribly written, it's a valid spinout article as with any other list of characters for a work of fiction with a large cast. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - character lists are a standard split out from articles on a notable work; tag for clean up. Doceirias (talk) 19:34, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Norse Am Legend. I'm not familiar with the show, but we usually use English titles here. JuJube (talk) 23:58, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Five pillars (notability to a real-world audience, unoriginal research, consistent with a “specialized encyclopedia” concerning verifiable fictional topics with importance in the real world), What Wikipedia is, Lists (discriminate, encyclopedic, maintainable, notable, unoriginal, and verifiable), use of "cruft" never being a valid reason for deletion, and Do not call things cruft. All of these editors believing the article meets our policies and guidelines and therefore is worth their volunteer time since 2006 trumps two deletes in some snapshot in time AfD.  -- Happy editing!

 * No, it doesn't. Stifle (talk) 08:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Uh-oh, sounds like somebody doesn't like it. The two lists probably ought to be merged by someone familiar with the series, unless there's some compelling reason for separate articles I'm missing.  208.245.87.2 (talk) 14:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, there are two overlapping/competing lists, which source differing bits of information. This and List of Magical DoReMi characters need to be merged, cleaned up, and sorted out. Second of all, a list of characters is by current consensus (rightly, IMO) a valid spinout for notable works of fiction when the article grows to long, and while this list doesn't assert it very well, the work itself is very notable. Keep for cleanup and probable merging. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of Magical DoReMi characters and cleanup the excessive amounts of minor characters and plot tidbits. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 09:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of Magical DoReMi characters. There is no reason to have two lists for the same series. Look at removing most the the senseless statistics, trivia, and incidental characters. --Farix (Talk) 19:23, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
