List of fictional Vice Presidents of the United States

 * — (View AfD)

I am completing an incomplete afd nomination. Abstain Iamunknown 20:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful summary of a well-defined topic in a large range of fiction.  Passes WP:LIST as a well-annotated list. Tevildo 21:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator - originally part of mass nom at Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. These are indiscriminate lists drawing largely unrelated articles from a wide variety of genres, difficult if not impossible to maintain and will never aproach completeness. Otto4711 23:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy close. This is a relisting and lacks an explanation for deletion. Keep as per extensive discussion at Articles for deletion/List of fictional actors. -- User:Docu
 * The only reason this is a "relisting" is because someone took it upon him/herself to break up an existing nomination. It is disingenuous in the extreme to suggest closure on that basis and quite frankly your cherry-picking the listings you want speedily closed does not speak well of your motivation. The reason for the nomination is right there in my comments as nominator and stating that there is no explanation is just flat out not true. As for the discussion at the previous nom, a number of those voicing opinions called for keep/close only because of the mass nature of the nomination. It's ridiculous to claim that those procedural !votes constitute consensus on every article individually. Otto4711 05:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It may not be a relisting. See this subpage for an explanation &mdash; Iamunknown 05:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete This list pulls together from many different art forms a million different characters that are only tenuously related by job title. I can't imagine how this list is useful and it can never even be close to complete.--Velvet elvis81 06:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Telvido: satisfies "Infomation" and "Navigation" criteria of WP:LIST. It's a broad catagory and perhaps a substantially incomplete list, but it does not come close to being an indiscriminate collection. DMacks 08:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Good list. Nothing arbitary or unmaintainable about it. AndyJones 09:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy close without prejudice. Nominator gives no rationale for this proposal. —Psychonaut 12:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I thought that, at first, but actually his nomination is here, 2nd vote down. I'm against a "without prejudice" close, since that means we'll just be discussing the matter again in a day or so. AndyJones 13:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, very well-annotated list. Easily maintainable, and the notion that this is "indiscriminate information" is just silly: let me break it down for you - must be a US president, must be fictional. That's pretty discriminatin'! --Canley 15:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Not to repeat my comments from the same article for Fictional Presidents, but this is a useful article. Yes, it has trivia, but so what.  It's an interesting read, has links to where it's used, and it is fascinating.  It would be sad to lose a list like this.  Orangemarlin 18:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
