List of characters in The Walking Dead

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Conspicuous lack of independent, reliable sources showing non-trivial coverage of the topic. Only references are for extremely minor points. Whole thing is nothing but detailed trivia of no notability. Not a merge candidate based upon length of trivia and that the main article has similar problems.

 * Delete, or possibly strip to the bone and merge. This section was way too big when it was in the article, and needed to be trimmed down to barely anything then, creating a new page for it wasn't a good solution.  Lychosis   T / C  17:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just because a series is notable doesn't necessarily mean we need an accompanying character list. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If we have this one I suppose we should have character lists for every film and more significant games. I am happy with strip to the bone and merge as an alternative, but most of this unsourced info should not go in the main article.--Sabrebd (talk) 09:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep it. The series itself is hard to write significant information about without having deletion as a lot of The Walking Dead's settings, facts and storyline is mysterious and elusive, and thus assumptions have to be made to give information on it. I wrote that piece in the main page to address what everybody has been wondering about. Back to characters; I suggest trim it down to basic facts, I overdid the descriptions but there's no reason to delete it. In response to the user above my reply, it doesn't make sense to delete this if articles such as The Simpsons and other video games have several more articles of in-universe information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Apokalips (talk • contribs) 00:48, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What other sorts of articles exist is irrelevant. The problem is this is focused on extraneous in-universe detail with no real-world notability. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Move it to the wikia and strip to the bone I'm guessing none of you knew it existed. For a more knowledgeable and relaxed Wikipedia- Nemesis646 (talk) 09:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
