 * Delete. A pretty obvious example of a hugely unnecessary list. I wish I had time to sit down and come up with such things. Drmies (talk) 02:26, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - What exactly is the point? Even if we disregard for now the fact that this list has no sources, why would anyone think an encyclopedia should contain such a list? Reyk  YO!  02:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Overly narrow list, unsourced, trivial. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, everything above, etc. obviously. Bsimmons666 (talk) 03:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as a OVERCAT Jclemens (talk) 03:28, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has now been moved to List of fictional amazons and female bodybuilders so that it can include numerous comic book characters such as Wonder Woman and She Hulk who are not just Female Bodybuilders.  The criticism of there being no point or that it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia flies in the face of established lists of fictional characters.  One need only do a Google search for "List of Fictional" restricted to Wikipedia to find hundreds of other examples, some more trivial.  The unsourced criticism is inaccurate as thus far every entry has a reference to an article.  How can that be unsourced?Andrew Y. Mousley (talk) 03:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment- Other similar lists may exist, but this AfD is not about them. The fact that they're there in no way implies that Wikipedia has approved them; we might simply have not got around to them yet. As for the sourcing, a Wikipedia article is not a source as required by our verifiability policy. It requires a reference to an independent reliable external source, such as a newspaper article, a scientific paper, a critical review, something like that. Reyk  YO!  04:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Another comment: adding Amazons to it does not make it any more useful or appropriate--rather less. Drmies (talk) 05:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Adding Amazons to it doesn't help - it suggests that Nancy & Peggy Beckett (from Swallows and Amazons) belong in the list, which I doubt is the intention! Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: An unnecessary indiscriminate list. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 13:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unnecessary, indiscriminate list - and the move has made it worse because now we have two entirely unconnected topics - I can't imagine "Misfit" - a superheroine from Birds of Prey - being listed here along with bodybuilders. Forget it. 23skidoo (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary and indiscriminate, and I don't think it's even factually correct either.... since when is Samus Aran a bodybuilder? Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
