List of fictional Armenians

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Per the consensus reached at Articles for deletion/List of fictional New Zealanders, this is an unencylopaedic cross-categorization and hence fails WP:NOTDIR and WP:IINFO, and arguably also WP:SALAT. Claritas § 20:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR, WP:IINFO and per consensus at the other AfD that these sorts of articles are not appropriate. Reyk  YO!  03:00, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete This, like most all List of fictional people from Nation X style articles, is an arbitrary cross-categorization which fails WP:SALAT since the topic is too wide to be able to write a discriminate list without resorting to original research. WP:IINFO and NOTDIR also come into play.  Them From  Space  19:19, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Just to be clear here, WP:WAX doesn't apply because it's not simply a case of noting the (non)existence of another article, but noting that this one suffers from exactly the same problems and thus that all the same arguments are applicable. In a sense it's really a late co-nom. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 21:40, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, but have no objection to a category. Abductive  (reasoning) 09:39, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It already exists: Category:Fictional Armenian people. Claritas § 09:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. Arbitrary cross-categorization that fails WP:SALAT and can only be written by synthesizing original research. Wikipedia shouldn't be the first place to publish anything. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Is well written and has enough sources. WölffReik (talk) 20:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - why on Earth was this relisted instead of closed as delete? The arguments for deletion far exceed those for keeping by quantity and quality. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 00:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to know. Consensus is pretty clear. Reyk  YO!  04:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - clear delete. Shadowjams (talk) 08:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
