List of South Park characters is expected, reasonable and quite sufficient. We don't need sublists of characters by profession, location, etc. (List of South Park families, List of students at South Park, List of recurring South Park characters...). Coud consider merger, but 99% of what we have here is unreferenced plotcruft that fails WP:LISTN. PS. I'll note that the prior AfD was an abysmal chorus of WP:ITSIMPORTANT/WP:INHERITED... hope we can do better this time.

 * Delete - A lot of the the arguments in the previous AFD were centered on the fact that combining these characters into the main List of South Park characters list would make it too long. But, that isn't true at all due to the fact that the only reason this article itself is so long is because its filled with tons of completely non-notable characters and information. The actual major and reoccurring characters from this list (Chef, Mr. Garrison, Mr. Mackey, etc.) are already covered on the main character list. And, basically the entirety of the rest are extremely minor characters that appeared in a single episode, and would not be appropriate to include in the main character list at all. As the character that should be covered on the main list already are, and the characters that are too minor to be covered on the main list are so trivial as to not need coverage at all, this is a completely unneeded spinout article/list. And since the vast bulk of the information here is unsourced, merging would not be appropriate. Rorshacma (talk) 17:09, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect all: Redirect to WP:PRESERVE page history, so that any character that needs to be added to the main list can easily be done by searching page history. Unsuitable for main space, however. As large and long-running a franchise like this is, there's no need for more than one list. Save the detail for Fandom. Why? I Ask (talk) 17:17, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect all per above. Orientls (talk) 17:31, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of South Park characters: This fork covers content that is already covered in the main list. Outside of the handful of covered characters, the entries here are largely minor and irrelevant. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 18:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. This would WP:PRESERVE any content that could be split into a proper article that meets WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:47, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. A redirect would be infeasible. This list can be linked up in the appropriate section on the main page for South Park characters. Serratra (talk) 05:35, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Your vote doesn't make any sense. How would redirecting be "infeasible"? Why? I Ask (talk) 06:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
