List of dead fictional characters
List without end; writing the death toll of all fiction ever has to be a useful application of Up arrow notation; no usefulness of inclusion for any sort of research due to its indiscriminate nature. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:27, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --AW 18:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Pitfully incomplete now (where's Jacob Marley?), and if actually filled would stand a chance of being the largest article in Wikipedia. A list of fictional works without a dead character would probably be shorter. Absolutely unmaintainable. Fan-1967 18:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, this is an impossible list to complete. VegaDark 21:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete They forgot Flattop and all the other bad guys who faced Dick Tracy. Existing article is Bondcentric and Hamletcentric. Edison 23:04, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - good grief, how many dead fictional characters would there be? 1000,000+? Sorry, but it has to go. Dead fictional characters should listed, if at all, in the respective pages for that work of fiction. Yuser31415 talk 23:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unmaintaiable, uncontrolable. As stated above, there would be no end to this list - and why would this be useful anyway? Robovski 05:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Rambling listcruft. MartinDK 06:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. (Besides, almost all fictional characters are dead, for the same reason that most people are dead. ) wikipediatrix 22:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Due to the endless number of "people" who fit within the topic, this page is going to be a collection of random dead fictional people remembered one day. --Darkprincealain 01:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete listcruft, and it doesn't include my favorite characters like Bill Clinton, George Bush and -spoiler warning- Harry Potter. SkierRMH 09:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but perhaps save the section on films where everyone dies. --Spencer &quot;The Belldog&quot; Bermudez |  (Complain here) 17:11, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
