List of characters in The Letter for the King

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Poorly sourced list of characters from a book. The references given are about the book rather than specifically about the characters. The main characters would be better placed in the article about the book. No indication that the characters themselves are notable outside the context of the book and the books article is not big enough to need splitting. noq (talk) 11:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As for "The main characters would be better placed in the article about the book" - pardon me, but have you noticed how extensive the list is, even if limited to just those characters playing important roles in the stories? Besides, as you may notice, some descriptions are overlapping between the books, while others refer exclusively to the sequel stories. And that does not include the characters created exclusively for the Netflix series yet! Dividing the character list between the two books - or deleting it - would result in a loss of overview. Therefore, I consider the existence of a singular article spanning all related media more sensible. DanielC46 (talk) 11:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Turn into an article about the characters from the original novel. Book to movie/series changes can be included in that. Starklinson 4:47, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete- this duplicates content that's already found, properly sourced, in the synopsis section of The Letter for the King. And I don't think the title is useful as a redirect. Reyk YO! 09:12, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unnecessary content split. Each article can easily handle discussion on its own set of characters without needing a dedicated list. TTN (talk) 20:42, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per others; anything that's sourced here already seems to be covered at the main article, as is standard. There's likewise no navigational aid since nothing here has its own article (yet, knock on wood). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 21:29, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete covered already in main article. Nothing beyond that is covered in reliable third party sources. Jontesta (talk) 00:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
