List of One Piece filler characters

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

This is just a list of characters that deserve absolutely no coverage. They are very minor within the context of the series, and they do not help readers understand it in any way. There is already one character list for the main and secondary characters to deal with that. TTN (talk) 19:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete- This lengthy accumulation of fancruft is unsourced and probably entirely unsourceable, making statements like bizarrely huge original research. This list is also disproportionately large considering the extremely minor nature of the information it contains; massively long coverage of unimportant characters violates WP:PLOT.

 * Delete I am a big contributor to One Piece related articles. And I agree with TTN and Reyk's assessments in every detail. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This could turn into a HUGE list with no end in site. There are no educational benefits from this at all. Undead Warrior (talk) 01:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete POV title (filler) and no useful information to be found. JuJube (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of One Piece characters. Not notable enough for a seperate article. Edward321 (talk) 05:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * List of One Piece characters is already rather long and before List of One Piece filler characters could be merged into it, List of minor One Piece characters would have to be merged in there, as every character on the minor list is more important than every character on the filler list. If we merged all three, we'd end up with a ~180kb list. From that list we'd remove at least half. In essence, a merge would amount to "Delete, but keep the history". -- Goodraise (talk) 05:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Regardless of whether we keep this, the title really should be List of One Piece anime-only characters, as that's what "filler" is (in a POV way) getting at. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this isn't even worth a merge, nor a redirect. The very title, by using 'filler', betrays the cruftastic nature of this article. ThuranX (talk) 21:34, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - filler characters are almost never notable, either by themselves or in a list with lots and lots of other filler characters. And as a comment to the nom, there has been a great deal of merging and cleanup going on with the One Piece articles recently, and this list would have been gotten to and dealt with shortly, even without the AfD nomination. — Dino guy  1000  20:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're implying here, but being the one who did most (step forward if you disagree) of that cleanup, and also being the one who suggested putting this article up for deletion, instead of simply truning the page into a redirect, without saving anything of it's conent, I'd like to point out, that I consider this AfD to be part of that cleanup process. -- Goodraise (talk) 20:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
