Procedural nomination. Article was previously nominated in a group, but consensus was to break the group apart and list individually. See Articles for deletion/List of horror film killers (2nd nomination). Abstain. &#9679;DanMS • Talk 05:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:LIST; information, navigation, and devolopment. - Peregrine Fisher 20:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. For what it’s worth, Wikipedia does have:
 * List of fictional doctors
 * List of fictional Amazons
 * List of fictional Antichrists
 * List of fictional Valley girls
 * List of fictional airborne castles
 * List of fictional apes
 * List of fictional badgers
 * List of fictional books from non-book media
 * List of fictional butlers
 * List of fictional characters who can manipulate wind
 * List of fictional tobacco products
 * ...and a whole lot more fluff. &#9679;DanMS • Talk 05:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)


 * And some of these are important and some are not,.
 * Keep This one is important. There are about 40 or 50 entries here, all from major works where the character or the work are both have WP articles -- there's no real room for confusion about whether someone belongs on the list, given the article, almost all of them play a major role in the work, and the list is well prepared and maintainable. Collections ofthis sort are encyclopedic content. DGG (talk) 07:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If I had a nickel every time someone said this.... look at it this way: is there anything on the list that could not be dealt with by a category? No. It's simply parroting information which can be found on the Wiki. There have been many similar lists to this that have been deleted, on far more notable (and real world) subjects.

 * If "Similar articles exist" is not a good argument against deletion, then "similar articles were deleted" can't be a good argument for deletion.RandomCritic 05:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Content of article goes well beyond mere categorization, making it a useful navigational tool. RandomCritic 14:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Random Critic and DGG. Trust me, these persons have led many a college student to go into psychology.  I would tend to agree with DanMS about the list of fictional airborne castles, since I never knew anybody who aspired to go into that line of construction. Mandsford 01:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
