List of fictional postal employees

 * — (View AfD)

I am completing an incomplete nomination. Abstain Iamunknown 19:53, 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.

 * Keep. Easily defined profession. Messiness is not grounds for deletion. --Hemlock Martinis 02:55, 4 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 05:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It may not be a relisting. See this subpage for an explanation &mdash; Iamunknown 05:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article in its current form could stand some cleanup, but it's still a worthwhile topic for a list. Redeagle688 05:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy close without prejudice. Nominator gives no rationale for this proposal. —Psychonaut 12:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The nom does give a rationale; see Otto's first post &mdash; Iamunknown 05:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Good(-ish) list: nothing indescriminate or unmaintainable about it. AndyJones 13:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate list. There's no logical connection between Postman Pat and The Postman, but they are both on the list. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:49, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The logical connection is the title of the list. -- User:Docu
 * Delete per Angus.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  15:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Angus, rather pointless list Jaranda wat's sup 00:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep not as many as mad scientists, but still OK.DGG 03:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well-defined list, far from unmaintainable. --David Edgar 17:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
