List of fictional people who were cremated

 * — (View AfD)

I recently prodded this and it was uncontested for a week. However, the admin closing old prods noted that it had been through VfD before so isn't prod-able (I was unaware of this stipulation). I think this should be deleted because it is an unsourced, unencyclopedic article topic that any other encyclopedia wouldn't have (even keeping in mind Wikipedia is not paper). What makes fictional people being cremated noteworthy enough for an article? If this were kept it sets a precedent to keep any arbitrary list of things that happened to fictional characters, which is a potentially endless amount of lists. If kept, this at very minimum needs souces for every entry. Nearly half the list contains non-linked names that apparently we are supposed to take the person who added it's word for being true.

 * Delete per nom. Arbitary, incomplete, useless and indiscriminate listcruft. MER-C 08:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:V, listcruft, and what would be the use? SkierRMH, 08:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unworkably broad, includes self-immolation and 'radioactive blast'. Would open the door to such lists as List of fictional people killed by falling and List of fictional people buried at sea.--Nydas (Talk) 09:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate and maintainable fanlistcruft. -- Islay Solomon  |  talk  11:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Does this include every time the Coyote blew himself up and turned into a pile of ashes with eyeballs? Delete.  Pointless list.  Wavy G 18:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, and cremate the server hd it was stored on. Unsourced listcruft with no forseeable end or encyclopaedic value --Mnem e son 18:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a completely arbitrary and unreasonable subject for a list.-- danntm T C 18:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no reason to have this list and should be deleted as Articles for deletion/List of fictional characters who wear fingerless gloves was. Finally, I noticed that the original VFD is has not been closed and that one person recently posted to delete there currently. I put a message one the page there but can someone please try to move the response here in case the person does not see the message I left. There is a link of the talk page for the article. --64.229.73.113 21:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've now closed the old VfD. VegaDark 04:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Surely of interest only to the most hardcore of list-fetishists...- WJBscribe (WJB talk) 02:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
