 * QUESTIONS, Can anyone tell me the criteria for a list of characters in a TV series getting it's own page. If the original series is notable, and is his characters, it usually has a list of those characters, particularly if that list would make the main page too big. What special thing does this page lack that other lists of characters in a show have? If it's simply to long or has OR, then tag it for that, don't delete it. That's not justification for deletion of an article, it's justification for FIXING the article. Mathewignash (talk) 17:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. The notability of a list of elements of work is not inherited from an entirely different article. (See Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.) If there is sufficient coverage of the collection of individual characters discussed independently of the series itself, then that collection of characters merits an article. If there isn't, it doesn't. — chro • man • cer 22:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment, See, I know you can't hold up other pages as proof this one should exist, but I see many list of characters in a TV shows without sources that are not being deleted. Mostly I consider them just an offshoot of the main TV series page. I'd figured if you had a notable TV series, the list of characters was justified to exist simply if that list was too big to put in the main article. What sort of source is needed here? Simply something like a book on TV series casts or a link to the show page listing the characters? Or a repeat of the sources for the main tv series article? Because I have not found any examples of other list of TV show characters that have the sort fo sources you want. List of Gilligan's Island characters List of people involved with Babylon 5 List of notable guest stars on M*A*S*H. See it's not that there are other cast lists without the sources you seem to want, but it seem EVERY cast list I have found lacks them. I can't find a single one WITH the sources described, so I can't really tell what sort of sources you'd want. Mathewignash (talk) 21:23, 8 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as unsourced, all plot summary, and pretty much all WP:OR. No coverage that I can find of these characters discussed independently of the show, which already has an informative article which this information doesn't improve upon. — chro • man • cer 22:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No out-of-universe notability. Unsourced OR plot. --Crusio (talk) 14:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:NOTJUSTPLOT - this is plot only coverage. --Anthem 17:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unneeded content fork and unnecessary split of Out of Jimmy's Head as the subject of the list does not meet the general notability guideline. Also, the subject can only be a plot-only description of a fictional work, so it is also unsuitable for the criteria of appropriate topics for lists. The article is completely unreferenced, which means that the content is original research by synthesis at best, so there is no valid reason to keep the article.
