List of Regular Show characters

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Vast list article, based on a single vague and in-universe source which does nothing to detail the individual characters.

If any of this stuff (such as major characters) stands up, then merge it to the Regular Show article. Otherwise it should go. A vast list like this belongs on a Wikia maybe, but not Wikipedia. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:03, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge, per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE this should not have been brought to AFD at all. This is a notable series that obviously requires description of its characters, and there is no section at all in the parent article. The questions of whether a WP:SPLIT is merited, what is an appropriate level/detail of coverage, and what can be sourced to the series itself and what would require secondary sourcing, are all for ordinary editing and discussion to resolve. Instead we're wasting our time on a process that has no application here, because at most this would be redirected to the parent article (again, see policy at WP:ATD), brought by a nominator who has not even bothered to raise the question on either relevant talk page. postdlf (talk) 18:29, 29 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep because it just needs cleanup. I echo what the above user said about the notability of the series, the question of the necessity of the split, and the trouting for using AFD for cleanup. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 01:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * This isn't about cleanup, this is about removal. There's no question of the series being notable (this isn't the article about the series, no-one is looking to delete the series article). But a huge unsourced list article shouldn't be here. Nor is there any indication that listing all these very minor characters approaches notability - and any major characters could easily be covered in the best place for them, the overall article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Article has a lot of issues but I think that its notability is reasonable as a WP:SPLIT of the parent article. Teemu08 (talk) 16:48, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, albeit with total sympathy for the nominator's argument. The article is easily ten times the length it needs to be, and has probably a tenth of the sources it would ideally have. But a list of characters is needed, either in the parent article or in a separate list, and per WP:SIZESPLIT it's reasonable to split it off for size reasons (the parent article is at 56k, and with even a massively reduced version of the list merged it would certainly top 60k, which is the point at which the information page suggests a split is likely to be needed). So although some serious pruning is needed, it isn't really the case that even an appropriately cut-down version of the list "could easily be covered in [...] the overall article". – Arms &amp; Hearts (talk) 20:58, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above comments. Wouldn't mind a merge to the actual Regular Show page if this ends up not being kept/ Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs)  02:06, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
