List of fictional people who were cremated
Don't see the point of this list at all, and it's hardly got any names listed anyway. The List of people who were cremated (linked to from cremation) doesn't even exist. violet/riga 21:37, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, I created both real people cremated (and populated it) and fictional caesarean sections (MacBeth is notable for this). On the original question Keep.--Samuel J. Howard 04:50, Aug 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * Merged into List of people who were cremated. Redirect. -Sean Curtin 09:28, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep the merge&redirect -FZ 16:03, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful information. And add the female character from Waugh's "The Loved One" whose name I cannot recall, but remove Tolkien's Denethor - he was obviously burned alive. --Gene_poole 23:56, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Borders on trivia, but so does every single article about Star Trek other than Star Trek. -- Jmabel 01:40, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Silly trivia, but perfectly factual and potentially useful to the Ken Jennings wannabes &mdash; or someone investigating cultural attitudes toward the practice of cremation as seen in literature. (Yeah, this may be a stretch. But keep nonetheless.) &bull; Benc &bull; 03:55, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not necessarily trivia either. Someone may find it useful for research purposes. Sjc 04:07, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete No! No one is going to ever need this information. No one will ever need to find a list of fictional cremated people. No one does a research paper on pop culture views towards the use of cremation. It seems like an excuse just to make another wikipedian article. Acsta 21:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is actually an old AFD from 2004. It would be best to post this on the current AFD. --64.229.73.113 21:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
