List of fictional characters with ADHD (second nomination)
The first AfD for this article ended in no consensus. Original research and somewhat speculative as well (some of the characters to my knowledge aren't diagnosed with it, but editors just seem to put them on there if they seem hyper enough to them). I think this would also count as an indiscriminate list of information, but I'm not sure. NeoChaosX [ talk | contribs ] 22:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, inconsistently formatted and the other concerns mentioned. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 00:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the premise of this article is somewhat interesting, but hampered by the fact that even casting WP:NOR aside, the disorder is overdiagnosed anyway. Danny Lilithborne 01:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:NOR, speculative, and WP:NOT.-- danntm T C 01:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This article has some sources, and could easily be sourced completely-- there are actually many fictional characters who are portrayed as having ADHD. That eliminates the supposed OR problem and "speculative" criticism. ADHD is a real, medically recognized disorder and this list has inherent interest. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
 * Comment, an alternative, should this fail to be deleted again, would be to merge it. Real disorder or not, how many fictional characters are actually diagnosed with it? Two of the entries in that list are guesses. A simple "ADHD in fiction" section in the main article would be a decent alternative to this short list. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 21:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
