List of characters from The New Guy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable. All plot character list from a single film that is not that notable JDDJS (talk) 20:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. If people could find some material about the characters that is not related to the plot, maybe this article could remain on Wikipedia. It doesn't have to be on the Web: book, magazine, and TV references could work as well. GVnayR (talk) 00:49, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. There's nothing to show that these characters are notable enough outside of the movie to warrant their own article. The problem with sources is that all of the ones I've found only talk about the characters within the context of the movie, usually by way of a review. The only source I've found that comes close is this one and even then it talks predominantly about the movie as a whole and not as a character separate from the movie. There's just no need for a separate article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge a trimmed version to back to main film article. Such action, as recommended per WP:ATD, would improve the target, and would not require an deletion discussion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * After realizing the wisdom of MichaelQSchmidt's bright idea of having a trimmed version of this information on the main article about the film, I change my vote to merge. GVnayR (talk) 15:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge These aren't notable enough to have a separate page. There are too many fictional character articles around here that aren't very notable. Comatmebro (talk) 02:43, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
