List of famous fictional pairs

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT of loosely associated topics and WP:NOT. Cagney & Lacey; Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort; Kirk and Spock; The Jets and the Sharks, and... Mary & her little lamb. At least this one is entertaining in its badness. Masaruemoto 00:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- trivial; why is a "pair" important? Why do we care?  Why are these pairs "famous" and not others?  What is a "famous pair"?  --Haemo 01:29, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The inclusion criteria here is so loose that any 2 characters from any show could be considered a pair.  Also, this would be an unmaintainable list Corpx 01:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, hardly makes sense as an article title. Andre (talk) 02:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * That AFD is for the similarly-named, but even more ridiculous, List of famous pairs. Masaruemoto 04:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this is just trivia. Oysterguitarst 03:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Gregory House and Wilson? How is that any more famous than House and any other main character on the show? Recurring dreams 03:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I enjoyed reading this one, and maybe can see it coming back in another form. This one is going to get deleted, but unlike the "ketchup and mustard" type lists, this one has a few points in its favor: pairing of characters is actually a common literary device, from the days of Adam and Eve and Castor and Pollux; second, the phrasing generally shows an author's intention about which of the two partners is the more important.  No need to shout me down on this one, since it's going to be deleted, but part of literacy is to recognize that we don't refer to "Jeff and Mutt" or "Eve and Adam".  The arguments against, of course, are as listed above, and the redundancy: no need to identify each pair as "fictional" when that's what the title says.  Save it to your hard drive, Karategal.
