List of deaths in The Bill

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

What Wikipedia is not notes: Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner; discussing the reception, impact and significance of notable works. A concise plot summary is appropriate as part of the larger coverage of a fictional work. A "list of deaths", however, is automatically geared toward an in-universe treatment of the subject. This list is purely plot summary: it contains no reference to the real-world significance of a fictional work or a particular element of a work of fiction (such as a character, an episode, or a theme). Any sourced commentary regarding the deaths in The Bill belongs in articles about individual episodes or characters, in a list of episodes or characters, or in the main article.

There is a fairly consistent precedent for deletion of such lists (in fact, these are the only one of two remaining lists of fictional deaths; the other is a list for the Scream film series and is nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion/List of deaths in the Scream trilogy). See: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. –Black Falcon (Talk) 21:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
